overview
Overview
On March 11, 2024, staff provided an update on coastal rail emergencies in south San Clemente as well as a progress report on planning for short and mid-term railroad protection measures through the Coastal Rail Resiliency Study. As part of this effort, an Initial Assessment was conducted to identify areas where the railroad tracks were under immediate threat of being undermined leading to passenger rail service disruptions. Based on the Board of Directors, public, and other stakeholders’ input, staff has updates to the initial conceptual solutions for consideration and direction on next steps.

Direct staff to further develop the updated concepts in the Initial Assessment and return to the Board of Directors with a comprehensive plan to integrate both engineering and sand nourishment solutions to help protect the rail corridor in the immediate timeframe.
