由于圣若金山谷的未收购地产, 加利福尼亚高速铁路局推迟了梅塞德和贝克斯菲尔德的延伸. California High-Speed Rail Authority delays Merced and Bakersfield extensions due to unacquired properties in San Joaquin Valley.
尽管加利福尼亚高速铁路局已经努力十多年, 但仍未获得近50个在圣若金山谷的高铁路线所必需的地产. The California High-Speed Rail Authority has not yet acquired nearly 50 properties essential for its bullet-train route in the San Joaquin Valley, despite over a decade of effort. 虽然在土地上花费了超过 15 亿美元，但其余地块的谈判和征用权诉讼正在进行中。 While over $1.5 billion has been spent on land, negotiations and eminent domain proceedings are ongoing for the remaining parcels. 该机构打算推迟授予Merced和Bakersfield的延期合同,直到所有必要的财产得到保障并准备建造为止。 The agency intends to delay awarding contracts for Merced and Bakersfield extensions until all necessary properties are secured and ready for construction.
