Del Mar city officials blast railway fencing plan DEL MAR Del Mar city officials criticized a regional transit district plan to erect fencing along a blufftop railway at their Jan. 11 meeting, saying the plan unilaterally overlooks alternatives that could preserve pedestrian coastal access. Residents and visitors frequently walk along or across the tracks to reach scenic seaside bluffs and the beach, despite posted no-trespassing signs. Trains, which carry commuters and fr...eight up to 50 miles per hour, struck 12 people in Del Mar over 5 years, according to risk analysis conducted by a North County Transit District, or NCTD. For instance, an Amtrak train hit and seriously injured a man running on the tracks on July 18. The man didn’t hear the train coming because he wore earphones. City lawmakers widely agree North County Transit District should move the tracks off of the bluffs to a proposed inland tunnel under the city. SANDAG, a regional agency and gatekeeper for big federal transportation dollars, plans to undertake such a project, at an estimated cost of up to $3.5 billion, but not for decades. In the meantime, for a minimum investment, chain-link fencing along the tracks would provide the most effective mitigation of risk trespassers pose, North County Transit District consultant Lurae Stewart told councilmembers Monday. No councilmembers favor that option. https://thecoastnews.com/del-mar-city-officials-blast-rail/
