Summary
Dropping the downtown Bakersfield station in favor of a northern alignment suggests prior environmental and planning work may need to be revised or supplemented. This is an inference based on standard NEPA/CEQA requirements triggered by significant alignment changes.
Details
Firms with CEQA/NEPA, transit-oriented development, and civil engineering capabilities should monitor upcoming RFPs tied to the Bakersfield segment realignment.
Funding directed toward environmental re-evaluation, station area planning, and updated design studies
