HSR UPDATES AT STATE OF THE DOWNTOWN

The Bakersfield Downtown Business Association brought people up to speed on efforts to make the area greener during the State of the Downtown Breakfast.

Planner Gunnar Hand, who is overseeing the integration of the High Speed Rail station, thinks the neighborhood already has a layout that encourages people to ditch their cars for their walking shoes once they get here on the train.

Thursday’s event also highlighted plans to add more lighting and parking this year.
