On the recordSeptember 9, 2003
I offer a simple amendment that subtracts $1 million from the San Francisco Muni Third Street Light Rail Project and adds that amount to the Silicon Valley Rapid Transit Corridor Project. The Silicon Valley Rapid Transit Corridor Project is a meritorious project that deserves Federal funding. It will connect BART with the highly frequented Santa Clara County destinations, including Santa Clara County's light rail system, ACE rail system, Cal Train's San Jose Station, the planned people mover at the Norman Y. Mineta San Jose Airport, and thousands of Silicon Valley employers. In addition, this project is the last link needed to complete the connection of all the region's rail systems around San Francisco Bay. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment as well.
