The lion’s share of the funding headed to SANDAG is part of a larger effort to double-track the entire San Diego subdivision of the LOSSAN (Los Angeles – San Diego – San Luis Obispo) Corridor. It will go towards constructing a new double-track segment, bridge replacement, realigning pedestrian access to a bike path, extending a pedestrian underpass, and rail crossing safety upgrades in the city of Oceanside, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, and other cities along infrastructure owned by North County Transit San Diego Railroad.
Encinitas’ grant will be used to install new vehicle and pedestrian gates at three existing crossings, close one pedestrian crossing, construct two new pedestrian and bicycle at-grade crossings and build a new pedestrian and bicycle undercrossing.
