On this week’s Fresnolandia, Jordan and Danielle speak with Egon Terplan, a senior fellow at UC Berkeley’s Institute for Transportation Studies and a former senior advisor for Gov. Gavin Newsom on high-speed rail and economic development, about what the project’s shaky future could still mean for Fresno.
They revisit the original vision for the project and how it has changed, as well as what lessons we can learn from the remote work revolution during the pandemic about how high-speed rail could change Fresno, for better or worse.
