![Board members at the Del Mar Fairgrounds voted July 15 to oppose a possible new rail alignment that would tunnel under the fairgrounds and the city of Solana Beach, causing major construction in both places. That alignment, known as Alternative A, is one of three options that the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) introduced in June as part of a Notice of Preparation for a project that would move the rail off the eroding Del Mar bluffs.

![Despite concerns about rapidly rising costs, the Del Mar City Council voted 2-1 during its July 8 meeting to award a $4.7 million construction contract to Teichert Utilities for utility undergrounding in District 1A, which runs along Stratford Court South. That figure exceeds the $3 million engineer’s estimate the city received previously. It’s also a microcosm of the estimated cost to complete undergrounding throughout the whole city, which has risen multiple times over the years, most recently from $50 million to approximately $100 million. Construction will begin later this summer for District 1A, which is on schedule to be completed […]](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/DMT-L-city-hall-071824-01.jpg?w=281 "Despite concerns about rapidly rising costs, the Del Mar City Council voted 2-1 during its July 8 meeting to award a $4.7 million construction contract to Teichert Utilities for utility undergrounding in District 1A, which runs along Stratford Court South.

![In April 2023, the Del Mar City Council voted to endorse an underpass down the bluff at Seventh and Eighth streets as part of a beach access improvement project required by the California Coastal Commission. Now, following an anonymous complaint, the California Fair Political Practices Commission is investigating whether there was conflict of interest in Councilmember Terry Gaasterland’s vote in favor of that option because it would create a beach access point a few blocks away from her residence.
