Long-term proposal to stabilize Del Mar bluffs near train tracks

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – After a series of bluff collapses near the railroad tracks in Del Mar, SANDAG has dedicated roughly $10 million dollars to repair storm water drainage structures, replace parts of sea walls and install additional steel and concrete support columns to hold back the earth.

The repairs will aim to stabilize and strengthen the eroding bluffs, which are also supporting train tracks.

Hasan Ikhrata, Executive Director of SANDAG , was in studio to talk about the upcoming repairs.
