Comment period extended for two California high-speed rail projects

The California High-Speed Rail Authority has extended the public comment period to Sept. 12 for the Palmdale-to-Burbank and Burbank-to-Los Angeles high-speed rail projects.

On July 24, the authority and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) published the notices of preparation and intent for the receipt of public comments regarding the environmental documents for the two sections.

The comment period was extended as a result of stakeholder interest, authority officials said in a press release.
