Subject: General Information
City offices will be closed next Thursday and Friday, November 26th and 27th,
in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Notable Items:
Thursday morning, the Downtown Business Association and the Downtown
Bakersfield Development Corporation held an empowerment breakfast
for their members. Public Works Director, Nick Fidler and Planning Director,
Jacqui Kitchen were asked to speak on the how the City is preparing for
El-Nino and on the High Speed Rail Alignment. After their presentations,
attendees had the opportunity to ask questions. Councilmembers Maxwell, Parlier and Sullivan were in attendance.

Next week, for the first time, students in Bakersfield schools will have the
entire week off. As a result, the Recreation and Parks Department has
decided to hold day camps at Silver Creek and MLK Community Centers,
Monday through Wednesday. Youth attending will have fun by
participating in arts & crafts, sports, games and many other activities.
Recreation and Parks will also offer these same camps three days prior to
the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays. Please call (661) 386-3866 for
additional details.
We are excited to announce that this Saturday and Sunday, November
21st and 22nd, Mesa Marin and Beach Park ballfields will be hosting a 3-
team youth softball tournament. Play will begin at 7:00 a.m., and continue
throughout the day.
Unfortunately, nine teams were turned away because of a lack of
facilities. However, with the additional fields planned to be built next year
at the Mesa Marin Sports complex, we will be able to accommodate
more teams in the future! The tournament organizers are aware of this and
are excited about expanding their tournament.
Traffic Advisory
Beltway Operational Improvements Project
Northbound State Route 99/Ming Avenue on-ramp closed through
Wednesday
The northbound on-ramp from Ming Avenue to State Route 99 was closed
to traffic yesterday and will remain closed through Wednesday evening,
November 25th. The around-the-clock closure is needed to complete the
reconstruction of this ramp. During the closure, motorists can access
northbound State Route 99 from the on-ramp located about one mile
north of Ming Avenue on Wible Road. Motorists who want to access
eastbound State Route 58 should travel east on Ming Avenue to Chester
Avenue, turn left (north), and use the Chester Avenue on-ramp to State
Route 58.
Motorists should also anticipate nighttime lane closures on State Route 58,
between State Route 99 and Cottonwood Road, and on State Route 99,
between State Route 58 and Wilson Road. These closures would be in
effect on Sunday, November 22nd and Monday, November 23rd. No
freeway lane closures are anticipated Wednesday, November 25th
through Sunday, November 29th due to the holiday weekend.

Nighttime Lane Closures on Calloway Drive at Rosedale Highway
Continue Next Week
The nighttime northbound lane closures on Calloway Drive at Rosedale
Highway are expected to continue next week, Sunday, November 22nd
through Tuesday, November 24th. The lane closures are expected to be in
effect between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Crews are currently working on a drainage system for the Rosedale
Highway Widening Project and this section of northbound Calloway Drive
will be down to one lane while work is underway. All southbound lanes
are expected to remain open while work is performed, and northbound
lanes will re-open in time for the morning commute each day.
Crews also continue to work in other areas along Rosedale Highway
during nighttime hours. This work may require lane closures of either lane in
either direction, but at least one lane in each direction will remain open to
traffic. All lanes are expected to open in time for the morning commute.
This work is ongoing and motorists should anticipate the potential for
nighttime lane closures on Rosedale Highway to continue, Sunday
through Thursday, for several months. No work is planned for Wednesday,
November 25th through Sunday, November 29th due to the holiday
weekend.
