High-Speed Rail Symposium at UC Berkeley

 

With the passage of Proposition 1A in November 2008, Californians approved the biggest transportation infrastructure project in the U.S. since the completion of the interstate highway system. At this evening symposium, six distinguished UC Berkeley faculty go beyond the polarized pre-election debate to shed light on the complex issues that will impact the success of this mega-project.

When: Tuesday, October 6, 5-8pm

Where: Alumni House, UC Berkeley

The Faculty: Robert Cervero (Professor of City and Regional Planning)
                   Carlos Daganzo (Robert Horonjeff Professor of Civil Engineering)
                   Elizabeth Deakin (Professor of City and Regional Planning)
                   Mark Hansen (Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering)
                   Arpad Horvath (Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering)

Moderated by Samer Madanat, Xenel Professor of Engineering and Director of the UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies

I am keen over its completion! I manged to read a few points raised by the Berkeley professors regarding the project and I think, there are serious long-term effects! Make some white papers available so issues are well addressed! Thanks!
