Long-term plan could include moving tracks away from San Clemente's eroding coast to new route along Interstate 5
Orange County Transportation Authority officials said Monday they need $7 million to study possible solutions, including realignment to protect the seven miles of endangered coastal railroad tracks from Dana Point to the border of San Diego and Orange counties.
The second phase of studies would focus on the feasibility of relocating the seven miles of track inland, he said. “It seems like we already know what the short-term issues are, so can we sort of accelerate the process?” asked Director Patrick Harper. A proposal to realign the 1.7 miles of track off the bluffs in Del Mar to an inland tunnel beneath the city has been estimated at more than $4 billion, and construction costs are rising rapidly.
