Caltrans is preparing to shift a nearly 3/4-mile section of Highway 1 inland, in an area where the cliff is eroding at an average rate of 14 inches/year (though the pace is expected to increase to about 1.5 feet per year by 2050).

Heads up if you use the Santa Rosa Creek trail as part of your commute.
