TEAMS TASKED WITH RAIL PROJEC ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS NEEDED.Byline: Daily News Three teams were selected Monday by the High-Speed Rail High-speed rail is a type of passenger rail transport that operates significantly faster than the normal speed of rail traffic. Specific definitions include 200-320 km/h (125-200 mph) - depending on whether the track is upgraded or new - by the European Union and above 90 mph Authority Board to complete the environmental analyses and preliminary engineering for high-speed train regional lines from Sacramento to Fresno; Fresno to Palmdale; and Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. to San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. . These regional teams join two others charged with ensuring that the environmental issues are handled, and necessary permits obtained and the engineering analysis continues in hopes of keeping the project moving forward, said Judge Quentin L. Kopp Quentin Lewis Kopp (born 1928 in Syracuse, New York) served as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and as a member of the California State Senate from 1986-1998, representing California's 8th Senatorial District, which included the northern portions of San Mateo , authority chairman. ``With the majority of our regional teams in place, the project is in a better position than it ever has been to collaborate with regional planners to ensure that the high-speed train project delivers on the more immediate and local benefits for which it is designed,'' Kopp said. Teams already are conducting studies on segments from Palmdale to Los Angeles -- running through Santa Clarita Santa Clarita, city (1990 pop. 110,642), Los Angeles co., S Calif., suburb 30 mi (48 km) NW of downtown Los Angeles, on the Santa Clara River; inc. 1987. Situated in the Santa Clara valley and nearby canyons, Santa Clarita includes the former towns of Canyon Country, -- and Los Angeles to Orange County. URS/Hatch Mott MacDonald/Arup is in charge of the stretch from Fresno to Palmdale.
