On November 9, 2017, the Califonia High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) jointly released, for public review and comment, a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (Draft Supplemental EIR/EIS) for the Fresno to Bakersfield project section of the California High-Speed Rail Project. This Draft Supplemental EIR/EIS is focused on the portion of the alignment that runs from Poplar Avenue in Shafter to Oswell Street in Bakersfield. The Draft Supplemental EIR/EIS provides a comparison of two alternatives, the Fresno to Bakersfield Locally Generated Alternative and the May 2014 Project Alternative.
