Fifth phase of Del Mar bluff stabilization to begin this month
Crews will kick off a three-year, $78 million bluff stabilization project in Del Mar later in March with the goal of protecting the coastal train tracks, improving drainage and preventing bluff failures over the coming decades.
The project, expected to begin March 21, is the fifth of six phases intended to stabilize the bluff through at least 2050. This phase will target a 1.6-mile stretch from Coast Avenue to Torrey Pines State Park, adding around 2,000 feet of seawalls, soldier piles, and tieback anchors to stabilize the track bed and drainage improvements along the bluff.
...
However, city leaders and many residents are now worried about how these improvements will be funded after the SANDAG board of directors agreed last fall to redirect around $14.7 million in dedicated funds toward other regional projects.
