The California Coastal Commission (CCC) has determined the removal of on-street public parking in the coastal zone constitutes a reduction of public access to the coast. Because the study recommends developing bike lanes in place of existing on-street parking, the CCC would require the replacement of public parking nearby.
Projects within the Coastal Zone Boundary, as a requirement of a Coast Development Permit, may be required to replace existing on-street parking on a one-for-one basis for spaces removed as a result of a roadway widening project.
The trail will be closed intermittently. OCTA plans to restore the bridge and pedestrian trail as part of a future project that needs California Coastal Commission approval. The current construction activities are expected to take approximately six weeks to complete. During this time, rail service will be suspended through San Clemente.
The Orange County Transportation Authority (Authority) invites proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a study that will focus on the approximately seven-mile stretch of railroad corridor in south coastal Orange County.
