Imagine a two-and-a-half hour commute from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
The California High Speed Rail Authority gave the go-ahead Wednesday to a route that would link the state's major cities and regions.
Environmental studies approved Wednesday clear the way for a high speed rail system that would connect San Francisco, Sacramento and the Central Valley with Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego. Check out the impressive High Speed Rail route map here.
The next major hurdle for the project is a $9.9 billion bond measure on the November ballot. Authority board member Rod Diridon says if voters approve the bonds, bids for constructing the first stages of the rail line could begin in 2010.
That'll definitely put the 405 Freeway to shame.
