What happened
Carlsbad is reviewing a proposal to move southbound lanes of Carlsbad Boulevard, part of Highway 101, eastward to avoid advancing coastal erosion. The City Manager hired a consultant to find less costly alternatives than those previously suggested. The consultant will prepare an updated analysis to develop five conceptual roadway alternatives for the segment between Solamar Drive and Island Way.
Why it matters
The review aims to determine practical, more cost-effective approaches to address coastal hazards, including erosion and flooding. Previous designs for relocating the southbound lanes were estimated to cost about $280 million.
Infrastructure projects are intended to improve the Encinitas corridor.
