NCTD releases map, analysis of Del Mar bluffs fenching project

The North County Transit District (NCTD) has released an independent visual analysis and mapping of proposed fencing along the Del Mar bluffs in California.

The visual analysis and mapping are the next step in NCTD’s collaborative process with the California Coastal Commission and city of Del Mar to enhance safety and rail service reliability along the bluffs and to provide safe and legal beach access, according to a news release.

At the request of the coastal commission and city, NCTD retained CivilPros to conduct the right-of-way mapping and other services to foster a complete understanding of the modified fencing proposal, including a visual impact analysis that addresses the potential effects of the fencing on public viewsheds. 

The current fencing plan includes modifications responsive to public input and feedback from the city and the commission. The mapping, visual impact analysis and simulations can be found here.
