This is the last chance to submit comments in favor of the Truxtun Station and/or opposition to the F St Station Alignment to the Federal Railroad Administration. Comments are due by Tuesday, January 16th. Please submit comments today and urge family, friends, and colleagues to do the same. Comments should be sent to fresno_bakersfield@hsr.ca.gov and stephanie.perez@dot.gov Sample comments below for your convenience (feel free to copy, paste, edit, and send): "I am writing to provide formal comments in response to the Fresno to Bakersfield Locally Generated Alignment draft EIR/EIS. With respect to the draft EIR/EIS, my position can be summarized as follows: I support the May 2014 Project (known as the hybrid alignment) with a station at Truxtun Avenue and oppose the Locally Generated Alignment. If the Locally Generated Alignment is ultimately selected, I would like the station location at a location other than F Street and Golden State Avenue (preferably in Old Town Kern in the vicinity of Sumner Street between Beale and Baker). High-speed rail should be an intermodal connection next to Amtrak and within walking distance of the downtown core. The Truxtun Station is located within walking distance of the downtown area including multiple hotels, the convention center, Rabobank Arena, many government office buildings, a federal courthouse, the Maya Theater complex, Bakersfield’s Ice Center, and McMurtrey Aquatic Center. The Mill Creek Linear Park, an active transportation facility linking to the Truxtun Station site further enhances its walk- and bike -ability. The Bakersfield F Street Station Alignment is not locally preferred and bad for our community. If high-speed rail is going to be built in Kern County, please keep the Hybrid alignment with a station at Truxtun next to Amtrak. Thank you for considering these comments."
