I suspect there was some safety-based government decision at some point that HSR in an interstate right-of-way should be capped at 150mph.

220 mph requires a minimum curve radius of 3.5 miles. If you look at the maps in the EIS, there are a handful of curves much sharper than this. I suspect the same in Florida. As a matter of fact, a few curves help keep interstate drivers alert.
