Earlier this month, a city commission recommended moving a stretch of Carlsbad Boulevard to higher ground because of climate change.
KPBS North County reporter Alexander Nguyen says the Carlsbad City Council is set to review those recommendations Tuesday evening.
But the road, also known as Highway 101, is being threatened by climate change and erosion. In some places, the pavement is only a few feet from the bluff., the stretch of Carlsbad Boulevard between Palomar Airport Road and Island Way is the most susceptible to damage from sea-level rise. On April 2, the city’s Beach Preservation Commission recommended moving that 1-mile stretch of Carlsbad Boulevard to higher ground, retreating from the sea.
The city has been putting boulders by the road to prevent erosion, but that’s not a long-term solution.
