NCTD advances fencing project along Del Mar bluffs

The North County Transit District (NCTD) recently issued a public update regarding the plan for protective fencing on a rail segment along the Del Mar bluffs in California.

"NCTD is committed to developing a solution for the railway along the Del Mar bluffs that promotes rail safety and ensures reliability," said NCTD Executive Director Matthew Tucker in a press release.

“Our collaboration with the Coastal Commission and the city of Del Mar seeks to develop a community-sensitive approach that furthers these goals until permanent, safe, and legal crossings can be constructed.”

NCTD, the Coastal Commission and the city of Del Mar have agreed to postpone the Surface Transportation Board;s regulatory review of NCTD’s rail rights along the bluffs. A working group was formed to review project alternatives and select a preferred approach by Dec. 31.
