California High-Speed Rail abandons downtown Bakersfield station, for now
Due to cost overruns, the California High-Speed Rail Authority has scrapped plans for a downtown Bakersfield station, opting for a temporary facility north of 7th Standard Row. This interim solution will serve as the line's terminus until funding allows for the full extension through Bakersfield. The first phase, connecting Merced to Bakersfield, is projected for completion by 2033, with the ultimate goal of linking San Francisco to Anaheim at an estimated cost of $126 billion.
