CARLSBAD BOULEVARD SHORE PROTECTION
CITY OF CARLSBAD
BACKGROUND
Carlsbad Boulevard, formerly U.S. Highway 101 , is located adjacent to the coastline oi
the Pacific Ocean for much of its passage through the City of Carlsbad. While
crossing the coastal margin of Agua Hedionda Lagoon Carlsbad Boulevard is as low
as elevation 12.5 MSL, its lowest elevation in the City. The low elevation and
immediate proximity to the beach through this reach of Carlsbad Boulevard leaves it
vulnerable to erosion from wave action. Historically a walkway, parking lot and the
west side of the road were seriously damaged during a winter storm in 1983. A
project to protect Carlsbad Boulevard has been designed and approved by all State
and Federal agencies having jurisdiction. The project has been high on the list of
funding priorities of the California Department of Boating and Waterways.
Unfortunately Boating and Waterways has no funds to build the project and has no
expectation of being able to fund the project in the foreseeable future.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The improvements will consist of:
e Improvement and repair of the existing rock revetment on the jetty at the north
Relocating some unneeded rock thus providing more usable beach area.
Installing 2550 linear feet of steel sheet pile wall with a reinforced concrete cap
side of the project.
