BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The Bakersfield City Council will hold a special meeting of the Communitee Services Committee on Thursday, beginning at noon.
Two topics are up for discussion. One will be for recommendations regarding the Centennial Plaza bricks and the other regarding the installation of artwork along the Westside Parkway.
Recently a proposal was made to remove thousands of personalized bricks from in front of Rabobank arena, citing a possible safety hazard. But residents who purchased those bricks rallied against the proposal in August.
It was understood to many residents that the bricks would remain in place -- forever.
The council referred the issue to the Community Services Committee, who will discuss the issue and hear recommendations to how the bricks can be preserved.
Many bricks were already removed by the city.
In regards to the artwork installation on the Westside Parkway, the committee will discuss an entry monument for Highway 58 and murals on the Kern River Parkway Bridges.
The meeting will take place at 1600 Truxtun Ave., in Conference Room A on the first floor.
