Bullet train board to weigh Bakersfield pledge

The California High-Speed Rail Authority board will consider a resolution aimed at demonstrating its willingness to work with Bakersfield on a new bullet train path at its meeting Tuesday.
The resolution commits the rail agency to not approve its "hybrid alignment" -- which would bisect Mill Creek Linear Park, decimate the city's corporation services yard and 526 structures -- before reviewing "the Refined Locally Generated Alternative."
