After Feinstein floated the idea in 2000, the commission undertook a 2-year study of its costs. It concluded that building a bridge from Highway 238 in Hayward to the Peninsula would cost $8.2B... cheaper than a new BART tube to SF but still costlier than the Bay could afford.https://twitter.com/ctuan/status/938523236802768896 …
So building a second tunnel both systems (standard Caltrain) and non-standard BART is cheaper??

There’s a lot to figure out with how/if to make second tube work for everyone. For example, beyond track gauge it’s also overhead catenary vs third rail vs maybe diesel (Capitol Corridor)? For now the project is all things to all people. At some point there’ll be tradeoffs.

How can it be moved forward? Does something need to be on the ballot next year or in 2020?
