News release: Easing the squeeze on people and wildlife
San Diego County has more than 70 miles of coastline, home to hundreds of thousands of people as well as many wildlife species. The highly urban area is also congested, and conservation planning can be complicated. Through the vision, expertise and dedication of multiple agencies, a recently completed segment of the North Coast Corridor (NCC) Program that included restoration of San Elijo Lagoon will improve traffic flow, additional public recreation opportunities, and breathing room for wildlife. San Diego County’s NCC Program is a set of multi-year projects to increase capacity for Interstate-5 (I-5), railways, and bike and pedestrian trails between the cities of La Jolla and Oceanside.
