Expect another step forward in the drive to connect B-C, Washington and Oregon by high-speed rail.
Premier John Horgan and Washington Governor Jay Inslee will make an announcement about the initiative today in Vancouver.
A release from the premier’s office says the details will involve a proposed ultra-high-speed corridor service connecting Vancouver with the U-S northwest.
Earlier studies in the U-S have revealed a high-speed line could cost as much as 42-billion dollars, but stakeholders say it would support job creation and the Washington legislature voted last week to spend just over one-million dollars to further examine the idea.
