Erosion-Threatened Calif. Rail Line Gets $300M for Relocation Plan
The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) this week marked the receipt of $300 million from the California Legislature to develop the realignment of track through the 1.7 miles of vulnerable Del Mar bluffs along the coastline.
For almost two decades, SANDAG has attempted to stabilize the oceanside bluffs that feature the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) rail, the key link for both passenger and freight from Mexico to Los Angeles. The funds are earmarked to complete the environmental process and advance engineering work for a long-term solution for construction of the realignment, even as the agency continues to seek funding for the project that officials say could range between $3 and $4 billion.
