Van Alen- High Speed Rail Ideas Competition


An opportunity to discover through observation

Connecting our current major urban centers with growing areas is key to proper community integration.

Current infrastructure must be evaluated for efficient reinterpretation or revitalization as part of the HSR infrastructure. City urban and commuter systems should be considered key opportunities to limit HSR funding within city center’s, where new viaducts or tunnels will considerably affect construction estimates.

Infrastructure necessary for the continuous linear condition of the train will offer opportunities to reward wind and solar energy generation. Train corridors will offer a dual benefit by having turbines or photo voltaic panels along the spine of an already necessary structural system. Energy will become available to jurisdictions along some of the more desolate areas of the pathway or as necessary near metropolitan areas.

A key feature must be FLUIDITY.
