  • FY 2010-11 City of Bakersfield Adopted Budget[Icon]
    THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK About the Cover Mill Creek is a master planned mixed use development that will be centered along a new 1 ½ mile linear park and waterfront – stretching from Golden State Avenue to California Avenue and positioned along the Kern Island Canal. Renovations in Central Park began in December 2007 with the creation of a new pond, bicycle and walking path, historic themed lighting, benches, lighted pedestrian bridge, trees, landscaping, and fencing. In addition, the canal is lined and large boulders have been installed to provide a continued wild and scenic river look that replicates some areas of the upper Kern River. Additional improvements planned along the remaining northern and southern portions of the canal began in December 2008. The master planned developments around Mill Creek include nearly 400 residential units, over 200,000 square feet of new commercial space, and the renovation of Central Park as the center point. The renovated park will enjoy new plaza space and the linear addition will have areas that will allow regular programming by the Recreation & Parks Department for community venues. The cover also features a rendering of the Federal Courthouse to be constructed by the General Services Agency in Central Park. The Mill Creek master planned project is expected to take approximately five years to complete and will be home to several new commercial attractions that include a mix of restaurants, the new cinema complex and additional shopping. Funding for the project comes from a variety of special redevelopment grants and loans and from private investment.

    Historic Bakersfield & Kern County, California www.gilbertgia.com Where Bakersfield Threw Its Garbage, 1872-1992 By Gilbert P. Gia Copyright © 2016, Gilbert P. Gia, Bakersfield, California Public schools and public libraries are granted use of this work for direct instruction. Commercial interests contact [email protected] rash was not a problem for decades, but in 1913 a newspaper grumbled, “A village may find a dumping place for its garbage, and T though it is unsightly and the practice unsanitary, it all passes with little criticism, but a city of 20,000 inhabitants situated in the center of a rich and populous section can hardly be disposing its refuse in that manner without offending both sight and smell, and certainly the danger to health is always a pressing question when the garbage of a city is left charred and uncovered by the roadside.”1 Scofflaw dumping today pales in comparison to how people used to dispose of their trash. Bakersfield’s early dumps were all de facto ones, and even after the city sponsored a dumping ground, the convenient ones persisted. What residents should have done and what they actually did were usually quite different. 1 Bakersfield Californian, Jun 10, 1913 1 --- Major Historical Dump Sites Panama Slough Reeder’s Lake Hudnut Park-Kern County Museum Union Avenue at Niles Street Brundage Lane at Cottonwood Road Brundage Lane at Mt.
