The upcoming meeting seeks public input on the study, with Spanish interpretation provided:
Study Objectives The Coastal Rail Resiliency Study (CRRS) evaluates strategies to protect the railroad in place for up to 30 years and ensure uninterrupted rail operations while minimizing passenger and freight service disruptions. It will include a detailed analysis of seven miles of critical coastal track between Dana Point and San Clemente up to the the San Diego County line. Key milestones ...
