Several San Diego, CA-area cities are working together to construct a 44-mile bicycle trail from the San Luis Rey River in Oceanside to the Santa Fe Railway depot in San Diego. The Carlsbad City Council approved a contract with a local engineering firm to design a 6.5-mile stretch of thetrail. Officials in Oceanside, Encinitasand Solana Beach will likely follow suit and approve similar contracts with the same engineering firm. Officials estimate that construction couldbegin in 2003 once a final agreement is reached with theNorth County Transit District. Approximately $13.6 millionhas been secured for the project from federal state and regional transportation grants, according to a Carlsbad engineer. The trail has been in the talking and planning stages since 1986.
