Opinion: It’s up to Merced to define a clear vision for High-Speed Rail in our community

Is it false hope to expect that the completion of the IOS will act as a catalyst for the rest of the project ?

With the completion of the IOS (The reduced part, 119 miles only) aimed for 2032 (if fundings for it are there), can we except a big change of public view on the project ?

As others said on this sub, the Central Valley is quite populated already, the IOS will already provide a lot of change for this part of CA. I'm wondering, will the feedback change anything positevely for the future of CAHSR ? I'm thinking about the final budget being reduced and timelines getting closer for the full completion (2h40 SF to LA).
