I cannot answer that for the entire system. I am responsible for the line from Palmdale to Burbank.

Here is one of the three routes we are considering. (the one with the least opposition) It will mostly be underground. Purple is underground, green at grade and blue is a bridge.

We should be ok.

Wow, if we ever had a visit I would have a million questions.
Very impressive looking project indeed.

Realizing that I am a complete armature when it comes to these things, I am still impressed....

It was the "drilling through a fault line" that was my first question.

Thanks for the link, I am enjoying the similarities between how your people react to this sort of thing for/against,
and how we do it. Do you think there is a school some place that teaches that stuff? I would like to see the project
completed.

Before I had the work done, which took about 10 mins, the car stalled as I was
approaching a stop sign today, now that doesn't happen, I'm going to need to get
My friend Tim to turn the warning light off again, this time the idiot light should stay off.
I hope.

Unless there's another problem.

Aaaagghh! I just remembered, my car has multiple problems I need to get fixed and an emissions test done by the end of the month.

I thought I had heard of just about every dumb things people do except for this one...

Woman killed while riding on mattress on top of van in attempt to transport it
HAYMARKET, Va. (AP) — Prince William County police say a woman who was riding on an unsecured mattress on top of a passenger van was killed when the mattress and the woman fell off the vehicle.

The department said in a news release that 20-year-old Sidney Zelaya Gonzalez of Culpeper was riding on the mattress about 6:40 a.m. Friday in Haymarket.

Officers say while the van was traveling on Waverly Farm Drive, the mattress and Gonzalez came off the van. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the van driver, a 41-year-old woman from Culpeper they did not identify, stayed at the scene of the incident.

Officer Nathan Probus is a spokesman for Prince William County police. He tells The Washington Post that the women were trying to transport the mattress.
