SANDAG NOP Scoping Meeting TONIGHT - Additional Info & Correction

Reminder SANDAG Rail Realignment Project NOP Scoping Meeting Tonight, May 29th, at 6:00 PM at The Sound SANDAG released the Updated Notice of Preparation (NOP) for the San Diego LOSSAN Rail Realignment project, starting a 45-day scoping period to collect feedback that will end on Monday, June 30th. This regionally-important project is to explore long-term solutions to ensure the rail corridor remains safe, reliable, and resilient, focusing on the segment of rail within the jurisdiction of Del Mar. As many of you may recall, in June of last year SANDAG released a NOP that included an Alternative – Alternative A – that started in Solana Beach, tunneled under the Fairgrounds and Lagoon, to align with Interstate 5, and come out near the north end of Sorrento Valley. In response to comments received on the NOP – including a large number from our City residents and businesses - SANDAG launched a Value Analysis Study to enhance the proposed alignment alternatives and identify new options for consideration. On February 28, 2025, the SANDAG Board of Directors directed staff to move forward with the proposed project goals, objectives, and alternative alignments, including a no build alternative. While the project alternatives do not include the previously-considered Alternative A and now do NOT impact Solana Beach properties directly, it is still important for our City, residents and businesses to stay engaged, as construction will likely still impact commutes and surrounding roadways. NOP SCOPING MEETING SANDAG will be hosting a Public Scoping Meeting tonight, May 29th from 6:00-7:30 PM at the Sound at the Del Mar Fairgrounds to discuss the proposed alignments (or rail routes) and to collect public feedback. Based on public feedback and the direction of the Board, refinements and revisions to alternative concepts will continue to be made throughout the environmental process. City Staff will be in attendance and the public will have the option to provide comments verbally, individually with a court reporter, through the online portal, or by written comment card.  Everyone is encouraged to stay involved and submit a public comments by one of the following ways: In person at the scoping meeting on tonight, May 29th Online: SANDAG.org/railrealignment Email: lossancomments@sandag.org (please CC lossanalignment@cosb.org) Mail: SANDAG, Attn: LOSSAN Comments, 1011 Union Street, Suite 400, San Diego, CA 92101.
