NCTD has undertaken preliminary design and environmental work forthese bridges using its existing funding sources but no construction funding hasbeen identified to date.Sorrento to Miramar Double Track (Phase 1 and Phase 2) – These projectswould add a second track between Sorrento Valley and the top of Miramar Hill,a total of 3.1 miles. The resulting double track segment would connect withexisting double track segments both north of and south of this area, resulting in atotal double track length of 9.1 miles. In addition, the project includes curvestraightening to improve speeds.This current stretch of single track is the slowest, steepest, and highest curveterritory of any segment on the LOSSAN corridor, with speeds currently restrictedto 25 miles per hour. It has also been the site of two serious freight trainderailments which shut down the entire line and caused severe disruption to allcorridor services. Design is complete to 60% and funding is available for finaldesign, but no construction money is currently available.Del Mar Bluffs Stabilization-Phase 3-Additional Bluff Stabilization – Erodedtrack bed support will be replaced, the bluff face will be protected, and the blufftoe will be reinforced in high-risk storm erosion areas, as identified in thegeotechnical study.Poinsettia Station Platform Extension – This project would extend both stationplatforms to accommodate train consists of six or more cars.METROLINK COMMUTER RAIL SERVICE(LOS ANGELES, ORANGE, RIVERSIDE, SAN BERNARDINO, ANDVENTURA COUNTIES)PRINCIPAL 2007-08 to 2017-18 ROUTE OBJECTIVES• Improve customer service and accessibility.• Improve integration with other transit services.• Purchase 107 new rail cars.• Design and construct Sealed Corridor safety improvements on SCRRAownedlines.• Complete system-wide rail line rehabilitation/renovation projects.• Construct Eastern Area maintenance facility.• Perform various projects to improve system performance.• Purchase and rebuild 15 used locomotives.• Complete Lincoln Avenue double-track.142
