The first of two public meetings will be held this week to discuss how the Orange County Transportation Authority can protect its tracks through south Orange County coastal towns, where the ocean and sliding hillsides threaten the rail line.

The first will be a virtual meeting at 5 p.m. on April 11, hosted by the OCTA to discuss a study of trouble spots and near-term proposals to try and protect the tracks, while the second will happen in-person on May 30 at the San Clemente City Hall. The section of rail through south Orange County is part of the 351-mile rail corridor between San Luis Obispo and San Diego, touted as the second busiest passenger rail corridor in the nation.

The objective of the study, which covers 7 miles of coastline, is to “evaluate strategies to protect the railroad in place for up to 30 years and ensure uninterrupted rail operations while minimizing passenger and freight service disruptions.” Landslides and damage to the tracks from waves has halted rail service multiple times over the last few years. Passenger serve resumed late last month after the latest damage from a landslide in January.
