Just a few feet of delicate rock stand between the scenic Del Mar rail line and the beach down below where people often sunbathe and walk.

It's also the area where officials want to move the rail line away from the beach and into a tunnel. It would be a permanent solution to coastal erosion that has halted trains in Orange County.

San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), the region's transportation planning agency, is studying options for digging tunnels, and is currently soliciting public input, including a meeting at Del Mar City Hall on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

The plans don’t sit very well with some Del Mar residents, who don’t want an underground tunnel running under the town.

During a recent Del Mar City Council meeting, SANDAG gave residents an update on the project.

The goal is to move the tracks that carry trains from Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner, the Southern California Regional Rail Authority’s Metrolink, and the North County Transit District’s COASTER and SPRINTER passenger rail services, plus Union Pacific and BNSF Railway freight rail services.

Staff presented five route options, and have begun studies on two of them, though all options are still on the table, said SANDAG Deputy CEO Colleen Clementson.

“This just really helps to inform the process,” she said. “It just gives us this finer level of detail to really understand the constraints that we're dealing with in this project.”

The state has given SANDAG a $300 million grant for the study of two routes that would run underneath two roads, Camino Del Mar and Crest Canyon.

“As we started to do that more detailed analysis, we came to understand that we didn't actually need as big a tunnel as we thought,” Clementson said. “It can actually be smaller.”

But residents like the Rev. Paige Blair-Hubert, the director of St. Peter's Church, aren’t convinced. The church is sandwiched between the two studied routes.

“We're pretty familiar with this soil,” Blair-Hubert said. ”We very recently did a construction project in which we dug an elevator shaft and it was actually the most hairy part of the project.”

Before a shovel went into the ground, soil tests and engineering had to be cleared, she said.

“The sides were coming in on themselves and it was like they were trying to shovel glitter,” she said. “It was pretty hairy and it wasn't clear what it was going to take to stabilize (the soil). And that was just a little elevator shaft a block away in either direction of the two proposals they’re discussing.”

Her concern is what will come out of the environmental studies that have yet to be done.

“If the soil is already problematic where they have the train tracks, and it's problematic because of the vibration and the use and erosion, then tunneling through the earth and creating erosion opportunities and more vibration opportunities, it just seems pretty problematic,” she said.

Some residents think it would be better to move the tracks near Interstate 5. But SANDAG's Clementson said the I-5 route comes with challenges.

“It's further away from the existing rail corridor, so you have to build more infrastructure, and that increases cost,” she said.

And more tracks mean a larger impact to homes and businesses, she said.

“We absolutely want to minimize the amount of property that has to be purchased,” she said. “But we know, no matter what with this project, there will be the need for property acquisition.”

And longer rail lines mean an increase in travel time, which SANDAG doesn’t want.

The train between San Diego and Orange County has been halted over and over again because of another trouble spot up north in San Clemente. There, another project is underway to move the tracks away from coastal bluffs.

But State Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas) said there isn’t a larger organization collecting grants to help with coastal erosion along the Los Angeles—San Diego—San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) rail line, and multiple agencies oversee different sections.

“What's been happening is that individual sections will compete against each other for grants,” she said. “They'll also make their own just internal decisions about whether the transit agency wants to make an improvement to that section.”

Blakespear formed the LOSSAN resiliency subcommittee that will look at the entire 351-mile long stretch of tracks as a whole to identify where improvements are needed. Then, she said, agencies need to come together and prioritize projects, not compete for funding.

And right now, the attention falls on Del Mar.

A final design for the Del Mar tunnels won’t be announced until 2026. Until then, SANDAG plans on conducting studies and talking to the public.

Del Mar home sold for record-breaking $44.1M as countywide sales slow

SAN DIEGO — While real estate transactions slowed significantly last month, San Diego set a new record last week for the most expensive home ever sold in the county, with a property in Del Mar that went for over $44 million to an anonymous buyer.

The number of homes sold in September reached the eighth lowest number in the region’s history amid high interest rates and expensive prices that have largely held firm.

“There’s more than 3 million people in San Diego County. In September, there were about 2,000 home sales, so that is a ridiculously low number of home sales for the amount of people who live here,” Philip Molnar, real estate reporter for the San Diego Union-Tribune, told FOX 5 Tuesday night.

The slowdown in sales transactions has been a standoff with current homeowners enjoying sub-3% interest rates and not wanting to let go of their financial arrangements made during the emergency pandemic low-cost borrowing.

Single family home prices dropped 1.2% in September year-over-year, according to Core Logic, a real estate data company. Meanwhile, condo and town home values jumped 5%.

Historically, the lack of inventory in the region has been the main driver of the shrinking number of home sales each month, but experts say September saw a bit of a change.

“It isn’t totally that there is just a lack of listings, it’s that interest rates are shooting up to at this point to 7.8 percent,” said Molnar.

Experts believe there could be a slight pullback in prices for the next few months, but do not expect any significant drops.

This comes as across town, in Del Mar, the highest priced home ever sold the county closed with a $44.1 million price tag. The waterfront house on Sandy Lane was bought by an LLC out of Delaware that shielded the buyer’s identity.

“Out of left field there is this $44.1 million sale — the highest ever in San Diego County,” Molnar said. “It doesn’t seem like it’s even in reality.”

La Jolla Icon Harry’s Coffee Shop Expands to Del Mar

Harry’s Coffee Shop, one of San Diego’s essential diners and a fixture in La Jolla for decades, is setting up shop in Del Mar. Owners Liz Rudolph-Gotfredson and her brother John Rudolph are taking over the spaces formerly occupied by Americana Restaurant and Elixir Juice & Food on Camino Del Mar.

The Rudolphs have already assumed operations of Americana and will be changing its signage over to Harry’s branding by the end of September; its revamped menu includes popular items from the diner like the BW Benny, which features a bacon-studded waffle topped with ham and poached eggs. The restaurant will also be open for dinner, serving elevated bistro dishes along with wine and cocktails.

While John is the main operator of the La Jolla restaurant, the siblings are partnering to run the Del Mar location. They plan on expanding the menu and incorporating more favorite dishes and drinks from Harry’s La Jolla into the new Del Mar location. Their parents, Harry and Catherine, opened the original Harry’s Coffee Shop in the ‘60s when they moved from Brooklyn to follow their beloved Dodgers to the West Coast. In searching for a New York-style diner, they decided to just open their own.

Tentatively set to open on Labor Day weekend, Harry’s Taco Club will serve up tacos in Elixir’s old spot. They’re currently applying for a beer and wine license for the taco shop; meanwhile, margaritas, beer, and wine can be ordered at the Americana restaurant location a couple of doors down where Harry’s has a full liquor license. The Mexican restaurant already has existing locations in Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach, and the East Village.

DEL MAR, Calif. — A multi-million dollar beachfront home was just sold in Del Mar, making it the most expensive home ever sold in San Diego County.

The eight-bedroom, seven and a half bathroom home was built in the early 1950’s and was sold this week for a record breaking $44.1 million.

The beach house located at 2490 Sandy Lane boasts a ranch-style design, detached apartment, tennis court and swimming pool. The Del Mar retreat sits on over one acre of land.

The house was sold by Brian Guiltinan, who broke his previous sales record set in 2020 when he sold a $43 million house to Bill Gates, according to the San Diego County Recorder Office.

Hollywood real estate developer C.E. Toberman built the multi-million dollar mansion in the 1950s.

Toberman is also the grandfather of San Diego businessman and politician Charles “Kim” Fletcher, who lived in the home until 2019.

“This property stands as one of the largest beachfront parcels in California and it’s on one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in America,” said Brian Guiltinan, real estate broker of The Guiltinan Group, which represented both the buyer and the seller in this record-breaking transaction.
