Every proposed alignment has its problems and every town and burg and pothole along any proposed ROW wants it to stop there (or NOT stop there or NOT go thru there) which of course, seriously reduces the HS part of the equation to business as usual. It's ridiculous and a full time employment guarantee for the Parsons Brinckerhoffs of the world and more bureaucracies in Sacto to hire them and read their papers. No shovel will be turned for many moons, if ever.
