Station relocation likely triggers new ROW and real estate acquisition work in Bakersfield
Summary
Shifting the station footprint away from downtown Bakersfield to a greenfield area north of 7th Standard Road will require new right-of-way mapping, property appraisals, and potentially displacement assessments for affected parcels. This is an inference based on standard practice for HSR alignment changes.
Details
Firms with ROW, appraisal, and land use planning capabilities should monitor for amended or new task orders tied to the revised Bakersfield station footprint.
