Girand: When Is A Listening Session Not A Listening Session?
The Orange County Transportation Authority drafted a report entitled “Coastal Rail Resiliency Study Initial Assessment Technical Memorandum” (CRRSIATM) in January 2024 and only formally presented it to the OCTA Board of Directors on March 11, 2024. In the report, it is revealed that the OCTA plan to keep trains running on the beaches in San Clemente and Dana Point will mostly consist of dropping tons of riprap boulders, scientifically identified to obiterate beaches. Riprap is mentioned 54 times in the report. Solutions involving sand are mentioned only 9 times, mostly as a reference to what others are doing. Estimates of this “plan” to be executed through the upcoming summer are $200 million. Boulders are already staged in San Clemente. The CRRSIATM is explicit that it will seek to evade all environmental assessments in order to prevent shutdowns next winter. Yet, a process for public input is taking place only once each month in March, April and May.
