H Street Project Paused for Community Input

The Bakersfield City Council has paused a $14 million H Street Corridor construction project after Councilman Zack Bashirtash raised concerns over incomplete info and neighborhood input. While city staff say a delay won’t derail timelines, council members want more community feedback before approving the contract — especially since the corridor sees over 300 collisions in five years, including fatalities. Plans include bike lanes, new trees, and traffic calming. The vote’s back on track for June 10 — a reminder that big projects need community voices before breaking ground.
