- W654987595 abstract "The 1983 high-speed rail proposal between Los Angeles and San Diego, California, was high technology and privately financed. It was initiated by the American High Speed Rail Corporation (AHSRC), a private firm, to develop a profitable business venture and offer a major new component to the transportation system. The 130-mi, electrically powered $3.1 billion system was to be based on the high-speed technology and design of the Japanese bullet train. The route was to be largely within or parallel to existing Interstate highway (I-5) and railroad right-of-way. AHSRC had an ambitious schedule, too ambitious, however; it underestimated the processing time and effort required of a major environmental study and a complex decision-making process, including public involvement. Assuming a minimum of problems, AHSRC might have been able to begin construction in September 1986, almost 2 years later than had originally been envisioned. The project proved to be very controversial, with the proponents eventually unable to obtain financing to continue. Opposition to the project centered mainly on environmental and economic impacts. Important considerations were noise, vibration, and visibility; beach access and lagoons; safety and property values; and transportation, namely, Amtrak service, local traffic and circulation, and local public transportation. The professional community seriously questioned AHSRC's ridership estimates and methodology. The content and process of communication between the project proponents and the public and governmental agencies were important factors in the outcome. The proponents were not accustomed to working closely with these groups. Elements of an approach to minimize communication problems in large-scale projects are as follows: exercise political diplomacy at all levels of government, maintain an open data process, establish open communication with the public and governmental agencies and keep the loop closed by continuing to provide feedback, maintain credibility by accepting criticism and handling it professionally, and avoid any perception of arrogance." @default.
