I'm interested in seeing how this discussion of the Westpark alignment — and the two other possible alignments along Union Avenue and Highway 99 — will fare in discussions at the Bakersfield City Council. Its become clear in our reporting that the city probably can't afford to build a big enough sections of the Alternative 15 plan to be able to justify the TRIP money Thomas secured nearly three years ago. Benham said the new alignments are being looked at because the city needs to find a solution that makes both interregional and local freeway sense. Thomas bashes Benham for saying Caltrans doesn't like the S-curve idea. That's old news. Caltrans officials have bashed the S-curve idea since 2000 because it violated state freeway design standards by putting a new interchange too close to the Rosedale Highway and California Avenue interchanges with Highway 99. Maybe there is a new solution that would make the S-curve work. Maybe the Westpark plan is still better....
