This one has the advantage that the right of way is already sorted (much of it runs down the middle of a highway), so lawsuits from landowners exercising their God-given constitutional rights to extract as much from the project as they can aren’t as much of a threat as in, say, Texas.

Either build public infrastructure or don’t. Public-private partnerships are neoliberal grifts for the capitalist class.

Good, I'm glad to see real rail investment, and that corridor desperately needs rail. That freeway is always packed and it's like straight out of mad max. People need a safe, fast way to get between the cities
