Summary
California High-Speed Rail has abandoned plans for a downtown Bakersfield station, at least temporarily. The decision likely triggers re-scoping of design, environmental, and planning work for the Bakersfield terminus area.
Details
Station descoping typically generates new consultant work for alternative alignment studies, environmental re-evaluation, and community outreach at a replacement site.
Potential reallocation of station design and environmental planning funds away from downtown Bakersfield site; alternative station location work may be funded
