SAN DIEGO —
The installation of a fence in Del Mar to keep people off the railroad tracks, already delayed by public opposition, has been postponed again so San Diego’s North County Transit District can complete more studies.
Transit district officials initially told Del Mar in an Oct. 9, 2020, letter that the agency would install a 6-foot-high, chain-link fence along areas of the tracks “with the highest incidence of trespassing” in Oceanside, Encinitas and Del Mar. It was set to be completed by the end of the year.
