California High Speed Rail Authority Meets in L.A.

The California High Speed Rail Authority board meets in LA on Thursday, 3/3 – and each of the three Southern California alignments (Palmdale to LA, LA to Anaheim and LA to San Diego) will present updates. This is an important opportunity for the public to get updates on the project and provide comments – which is why I’m hoping you can include the meeting information in your events round-up.

Meeting agenda included below is also online at http://www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov/2011_March.aspx

The meeting will also be available for viewing online at http://bit.ly/htDWS4

Please just let me know if I can provide anything else on this.
