Project Info

Title

Standard Street Secondary Access Project

Description

Note: Response to Comments The Kern County Roads Department proposes to construct approximately 0.70 mile of new road between the western end of Atlas Court and a point near the intersection of Hageman Road and Knudsen Drive in Kern County, CA. The new road would cross a number of parcels of land north of Atlas Court and would require construction of an undercrossing of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad (SJVR) near the western terminus of Atlas Court. The road would continue west across undeveloped land and across a canal to an extension of Knudsen Drive (to be called Landco Drive). The existing canal culvert just south of the Hageman Road/Knudsen Drive intersection is to be removed and a larger culvert would be constructed in its place (where the Knudsen/Landco Drive extension crosses the canal). The project would require new right-of-way acquisition, bridge work, and easement changes. In addition, sidewalks would be constructed on both sides of the new road extension from approximately 600 feet west of the SJVR through the depressed roadway section to approximately 250 feet west of Standard Street. A new traffic signal and lighting would be installed at the Hageman Road/Knudsen Drive intersection and street lighting would be placed along the new road extensions. A pump station and drainage basin would be constructed either to the northeast or northwest of the new railroad crossing. The purpose of the project is to provide secondary access to an industrial area that is bounded by the San Joaquin Valley Railroad and SR 99.
