News Briefs: Caltrans Silver Strand survey, Coronado artist banners, new library app, NASCAR planning

Caltrans survey on Silver Strand flooding, sea-level rise, and storm impacts

Following public outreach, proposed climate change adaptation concepts have been developed to address flooding, sea-level rise, and storm impacts along the Silver Strand corridor between Imperial Beach and Coronado. As the study evaluates potential strategies to improve the long-term reliability of SR-75, your feedback will help Caltrans better understand community preferences.

Feel free to share the survey with neighbors, community groups, and others who travel through or care about the Silver Strand area.
