THIS. CEQA isn't Planning. Plan first, then do environmental review.
Replying to @TribTowerViews
13. Once preferred design, informed by community input, is approved by electeds then environmental review should begin. We shouldn’t be studying a dozen options at 15% design (very expensive) to hedge bets and bullet proof EIR.

4. Only after securing ROD and funding do they realize: we’ve environmentally cleared a very expensive project that will be difficult to build, a challenge to operate and have lower utility to riders.

The latest turn in the VTA subway validates a common critique of US project delivery.
Happy to see that VTA is considering re-designing its single bore deep subway to have twin bore and cut & cover sections to have shallower tunnels and stations in order to save time and money. santaclaravta.iqm2.com/Citiz…

Heh, Carlos Romero calls out the good new Caltrain wifi as helping him prepare for his meeting at the Association of Bay Area Governments.
Happy to be heading north with the Caltrain wifi, free of "tunnel anxiety" (where connection gets spotty to unusable north of SSF)

Thank you @GavinNewsom for making it faster, cheaper, and easier to build gold standard electric rail in California by signing #AB2503. The bill gets CA on track towards a cleaner transportation system!
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 AB 2503 (@alex_lee ) which exempts rail electrification projects from CEQA was signed into LAW by @GavinNewsom

8,000 people is more than the typical weekday ridership at LA Union Station, the hub of Southern California's regional rail system. The people crave electric trains!
And that’s a wrap on the weekend celebrations, it was everything and more thanks to all of you! We had over 8,000 people RSVP for today’s event in @CityofSanMateo, and over 16,000 for the entire weekend! One for the books! ⚡️

Great time with our friends Friends of @Caltrain in Millbrae today! Great to improve transit service with electrification and that more @SFBART + Caltrain trips will be a lot easier. Here's to more connection between the Peninsula and the East Bay!
