DesertXpress is a $4 billion, 200-mile traditional high-speed rail proposal that would link Las Vegas with Victorville, Calif. Backers have said they would work quickly to build a 50-mile line between Victorville and Palmdale, Calif., to tie into California’s planned high-speed rail network.So the first link in our national rail system will enable citizens of Palmdale to vacation in Victorville, 50 miles away? We know this is mostly hype because of their 'out'. They will await the California plan!
Nevada listen up! The first leg of my I-15 corridor plan is to invent a virtual lane for high volume BRT straight to the Casino doors, even before we break ground with a shovel; buses dropping 200 passengers at a time for a week end in Vegas.
From there we start building the 120 MPH asphalt corridor down the I-15 meridian, along with HOT lanes. We do this at 1/4 of the bullshit numbers coming from DesertXpress. We build first from Victorville to Vegas. Faster, cheaper, fewer changeovers.
Then we tie into the LA BRT network, and push them to boost speeds. The the plan will deliver 200 passengers from any neighborhood in LA to casino doors in 2.5 hours. The plan includes high speed cargo. Vegas will boom.
Project financing is self sustaining, with transit districts along the way retaining a residual income from fees. This blog along with others, many listed in links here, will force a standard software technology onto the vendors, with smooth traffic control along the route. Bond yields will be lower with projected revenue, and opportunities for transit upgrades by local communities increase. Victorville, Vegas, Salt lake City becoming major switching points in a national super speed highway.
