Well, the California High Speed Rail Authority (HSRA) environmental impact report (EIR) has been released. According to the original intent of the 1970’s California Legislative law which requires an EIR for every public project, an EIR is suppose to be no longer than 300 pages; in a effort to allow such document to be easily understandable. The new HSRA EIR is 11,000 pages long.
Without having read the EIR, this author; an expert in the New Technology Transit industry, would jump to the presumption that the words: “common sense” is a phrase never seen in the 11,000 page document. Other missing words to describe the document will be words such as: “viable”, “economical” or “affordable”.
