The California High-Speed Rail Authority will be inviting the public to an open hearing and open house meetings this spring, to share new information about the planned high-speed rail section between Bakersfield and Palmdale, as well as related state-mandated environmental reports.
Central Valley regional director for the Authority, Diana Gomez, said that the 80-mile route from Bakersfield to Palmdale is still being fine-tuned so that the exact route from San Francisco to Los Angeles will be known. It also still needs final approval.
Project manager for the California High-Speed Rail Program, Rick Simon, said that the route will begin in Bakersfield at F Street, go over Edison Highway, goes around the César E. Chávez National Monument and ends in Palmdale near other major sources of transportation. Print shops can be used to create materials with more information about a land coordinate or specific address where such a high-speed rail may pass through.
The train will be powered by an electric system that will be overhead, with substations every five miles along the route to regulate the power. There will be 12 miles of tunnels as part of the route, and communication towers reaching 100 feet high every two miles.
The next public meeting will be held at the Stanley Kleiner Activity Building in Lancaster on Wednesday, March 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.Get a Free Quote for Print
