Yeah, I'd like Gov Moonbeam Brown to explain why the damage to the spillway was apparent in 2013, and he decided to do nothing about it. The damage was happening even before then, but a large hole opened up in 2013. Could have been repaired then, while the lake levels were low during the drought. But no, he decided to focus on high-speed rail and sanctuary rights. The damage to the spillway blew open during the current winter storms. Then he decides to beg the feds for money to fix infrastructure, but still focused on asking for funds on rail as a first priority (rail electrification in SF Bay Area)!
This fiasco is man-made, caused by Gov. Jerry Brown!
BART could have been third rail electrified as was done in Europe. However, it was decided that BART should be one of a kind new, and so it remains today, much more expensive because it is all non-standard, and cannot handle grade crossings due to the third rail.
