Iqoqo lezindawo ezintathu zokuwela izilwane zasendle – okuhloswe ngazo ukuhlinzeka indawo ephephile yezimvu nezimpondo ezinkulu – lengezwe ezinhlelweni zephrojekthi kajantshi wesitimela onesivinini esikhulu phakathi kweLas Vegas neSouthern California.
UMnyango Wezinhlanzi Nezilwane Zasendle waseCalifornia, uMnyango Wezokuthutha kanye nomakhi wezitimela u-Brightline West ngoLwesithathu umemezele isivumelwano sabo sokuklama nokwakha izindawo zokuwela ujantshi wesitimela ohleliwe wamamayela angu-218, okuhloswe ukuba kungene kuwo umhlukanisi ophakathi komgwaqo oshushumbiswa kakhulu u-15 Freeway. .
Ukwakhiwa kukajantshi wesitimela kulindeleke ukuthi kuqale engxenyeni yesibili ka-2023 kanti kulindeleke ukuthi kuqedwe eminyakeni emine, kusho uBrightline.
“Imigwaqo kanye nolayini besitimela kumele bakhelwe ukuxhumana, hhayi ukuhlukanisa,” kusho uGov. Gavin Newsom esitatimendeni. “Le phrojekthi ngeke ivikele kuphela izilwane zasendle eziyigugu nendawo yokuhlala esifundeni sase-Mojave Desert kodwa izophinde ithole abantu phakathi kwe-Las Vegas ne-Southern California ngokuphepha nangempumelelo – igcina enye yemigudu ethandwa kakhulu esifundazweni sakithi.”
Iziphambano, ikakhulukazi, zizozuza izimvu ezinophondo olukhulu.
Lapho kuhlongozwa lo msebenzi, abalondolozi bemvelo bazwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuthi izimvu zazizovinjelwa njengoba nje isomiso nokushisa kuzibangela ukuba zifune ukudla namanzi ezindaweni ezikude.
Ukuwela kwakungeyona ingxenye yezinhlelo zokuqala zikaloliwe.
Le phrojekthi yathathwa njengewinile ekuhambeni okungakhipha i-zero, i-Brightline iphinde yathi isikhathi sokuhamba phakathi kwezindawo okuyiwa kuzo sizoba amahora angu-2ΒΌ njengoba izitimela zifinyelela isivinini esingamamayela angu-180 ngehora.
Kuwebhusayithi yayo, iBrightline ithe ujantshi wesitimela uzonciphisa isibalo sezimoto ezihamba phakathi kwalezi zifunda ezimbili ngezigidi ezintathu ngonyaka, konga amathani angama-400,000 e-carbon dioxide.
Abaphenyi bezilwane zasendle baphawule ngo-2021 ukuthi ukuwela ezintathu ezintabeni ze-Mojave Desert’s Soda, Cady kanye neClark kungasiza ekusimamiseni ukuhlukahluka ogwadule.
Lezo yizindawo ezibonakala ziqondiswe ezimpambanweni, ezihlelelwe izindawo eziseduze nomgwaqo uZzyzx noRasor kanye nomphakathi waseMountain Pass.
“Ukunikeza inkululeko yezilwane zasendle ukuze zizulazule naphezu kwengqalasizinda ekhulayo edingekayo ukuze kusekelwe abantu baseCalifornia abaqinile kuyinto ehamba phambili ku-CDFW,” lezi zinhlangano zisho esitatimendeni esihlangene ngoLwesithathu.
Ngaphezu kwezindawo zokuwela, iphrojekthi izohlanganisa nezinhlelo zokugcina noma zokuthuthukisa amakhulukhulu amakholvethi asevele ekhona kanye nokuwela ngaphansi kwe-Interstate 15. Uthango lezimfudu zasogwadule kanye nothango lokungahlanganisi izilwane zasendle nakho kuzobuyiselwa noma kufakwe.
Ukuphambana kuyizinqola zakamuva zabameli bezilwane zasendle abebefuna izindlela zezilwane esifundazweni sonke.
Ngentwasahlobo edlule, kwaqala ukwakhiwa endaweni okulindelwe isikhathi eside ukuwela umgwaqo onguthelawayeka ongu-101 e-Agoura Hills. lokho kwakuyozuzisa amabhubesi asezintabeni.
I-Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing eyizigidi ezingama- $ 30 kulindeleke ukuthi iqedwe ngo-2025.
