LOS ANGELES—Touting the move as bringing high-speed train service a step closer to Los Angeles, the California High-Speed Rail Authority released a final environmental impact report Nov. 5 for a planned 14-mile stretch of the project between Burbank and Los Angeles.
“While we advance construction in the Central Valley, we continue our march to environmentally clear all 500 miles between San Francisco and the Los Angeles/Anaheim area,” Authority CEO Brian Kelly said in a statement.
