State OKs 2.4-Mile Addition to Coastal Trail
The California Coastal Commission approved a plan Wednesday that would add 2.4 miles of beachside paths to the California Coastal Trail.
The commission’s unanimous approval is a major step for a $5.5-million plan that would add not only a trail but also fencing and overpasses to make it easier for people to safely cross railroad tracks to get to the beach.
The proposal still needs the approval of city officials and the Public Utilities Commission. The federal government will provide $4.3 million in funding, and the state will provide the rest.
