Supplemental Environmental and Design Work Likely Required for Revised Bakersfield Station
Linked Projects
Summary
Dropping the downtown Bakersfield station in favor of a north-of-7th-Standard-Road location will likely necessitate updated environmental documentation, new design studies, and revised ROW analysis. This is an inference based on standard NEPA/CEQA practice for alignment changes.
Details
Firms with environmental, civil engineering, and land acquisition capabilities should monitor for task order or contract amendments tied to the Bakersfield realignment.
Consulting dollars likely directed toward environmental re-scoping, civil design revision, and right-of-way services for the new station area.
