These meetings are the first scheduled in Northern California since voter approval of <br />Prop. 1A, which will help finance the statewide network of trains operating at up to 220 miles an <br />hour. <br /> <br />Last year, the Authority approved broader program-level environmental reviews. Now the work <br />turns to project-specific technical studies, impact analyses and mitigation measures required <br />before construction can begin. Voter approval of Prop. 1A provides $9 billion as a financial <br />foundation for construction of the system, which will eventually link California's major population <br />centers from San Diego to Sacramento and San Francisco through the Central Valley. <br /> <br />More information about the Scoping Plan and the High Speed Rail project is available at: <br />htto:/lwww.cahiohsoeedrail.ca . aov/ <br /> <br />City Officials to Attend League Events January 19-23 in Sacramento <br /> <br />Hundreds of city officials will be in Sacramento next week for the League of California Cities' New <br />Mayors and Council Members Academy, a League-sponsored reception for city officials and <br />legislators, and for meetings of the League's policy committees. <br /> <br />The New Mayors and Council Members Academy will convene Jan. 21-23 at the Hyatt Regency <br />Hotel, across from the Capitol.
