"High-speed rail board approves Bakersfield-Palmdale segment. When will it get built?"
AUGUST 23, 2021 09:28 AM
QUOTE:
An 80-mile stretch of land between Bakersfield and Palmdale was given environmental approval Thursday and formally adopted as the route for one segment of a future high speed rail line linking the San Joaquin Valley with southern California by way of the Mojave Desert.
...
The Tehachapi route was settled upon about a decade ago as engineers determined it would be less technologically demanding for tunneling than a more direct route between Bakersfield and the San Fernando Valley via Tejon Pass and the Grapevine at the south end of the San Joaquin Valley.
IMPACTS OF THE SEGMENT
The environmental analysis estimates that the route would displace about 243 homes and 231 businesses along the way, as well as require the acquisition of 174 pieces of agricultural land, temporarily occupying about 252 acres of farmland during construction and resulting in the permanent conversion of acres now zoned for agriculture.
Approval of the route opens the door to eventual negotiations by the state with property owners to purchase the land needed to build the line.
...
Currently, the rail agency only has money available for the segments that are now under construction...
