Pacheco Pass Tunnel

 * ... that courts twice ruled against California High-Speed Rail's proposed Pacheco Pass Tunnel, saying it had not properly considered an alternate route through the Altamont Pass?
 * Source: "Once again, a judge on Thursday ordered the state to scrap its plans to zip high-speed trains from Gilroy to San Jose and up the Peninsula... The same thing has happened before. The cities first sued in August 2008, and a year later Kenny ordered the rail authority to rescind the route and redo some of its planning."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new, about long enough, free from copyvio problems and citations are fine. Hook is short enough and, I think, interesting enough. Editor does not appear to have outstanding credits, and no image is provided. So all seems well to me.  Wasechun tashunka HOWLTRACK 18:53, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg QPQ is needed. Check the credits, Antony-22 has 80.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usernameunique (talk • contribs) 00:07, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg I was looking to promote this nomination, but the article does not state on what grounds the court overturned the approval, as far as I can see. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:00, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * , can you add the grounds for the decisions? Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 22:34, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Good catch.  Upon looking at the original court documents, it seems a bit more nuanced.  I'm proposing the following hooks instead. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 21:57, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that courts twice ruled against California High-Speed Rail's proposed Pacheco Pass Tunnel during lawsuits brought by those favoring an alternate route through the Altamont Pass?
 * ALT2: ... that California High-Speed Rail's proposed Pacheco Pass Tunnel is expected to become the longest rail tunnel in North America?
 * I like ALT2, but why does the article say that there are two tunnels? Are they two parallel tunnels running the same length? --Usernameunique (talk) 14:24, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * They're two parallel tunnels, but colloquially they're often referred to in the singular. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 23:26, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Approving ALT2, which checks out with an inline citation. Referring to two parallel tunnels that are part of the same project by one singular name seems reasonable, especially considering colloquial usage. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:15, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
