Executive Summary Build NCC is the first phase of construction of the Caltrans and SAN DAG North Coast Corridor Program in the cities of Solana Beach, Encinitas and Carlsbad. Build NCC is part of a comprehensive set of transportation, environmental, community enhancement and coastal access projects. Caltrans and SAN DAG will provide an update and overview of construction scheduled to occur in the City of Carlsbad through 2022. Discussion Build NCC includes rail double tracking, extended carpool lanes, new bike and pedestrian trails and restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon. Construction of Build NCC began in early 2017 and is expected to be completed by 2022. Build NCC is a balanced set of projects to improve the quality of life for residents, create a stronger local and regional economy for the future, and enhance the coastal environment. The first phase of construction began in the cities of Solana Beach, Encinitas and Carlsbad; and includes extending the existing carpool lane on 1-5 in each direction from Lomas Santa Fe Drive exit to State Route 78, double-tracking the rail line at the San Elijo Lagoon, replacing the highway and .rail bridges at the San Elijo Lagoon, restoring the San Elijo Lagoon and constructing nearly seven miles of new bike and pedestrian trails. Additional work currently occurring within the corridor includes the Poinsettia Station Improvements Project. The project will lengthen and elevate passenger platforms, install fence between tracks within the station, relocate a section of the existing track and replace the existing at-grade rail crossings with an undercrossing featuring stairways and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA} compliant ramps on both sides of the track.
