  • Coast Corridor Improvements ROD & Final Program EIS/EIR
    2.0 ALTERNATIVES This chapter describes the alternatives being studied for the approximately 130- mile-long portion of the Coast Rail Corridor between Salinas and San Luis Obispo, California, as shown in Figure 2-1. This Program EIS/EIR evaluates two alternatives: a Build Alternative and a No Build Alternative. The Draft Program EIS/EIR evaluated two alternatives: a Build Alternative and a No Build Alternative. This Final Program EIS/EIR identifies a Preferred Alternative, which is a version of the Build Alternative modified to reduce impacts in response to public comments. The Build Alternative and the Preferred Alternative includes a list of potential physical components improvements to the railway and expanded passenger rail service (Coast Daylight). Some, all, or none of these improvements may eventually be constructed in order to facilitate the addition of up to 2 round trip Coast Daylight trains per day (4 train trips in all) between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The No Build Alternative assumes the continuation of existing passenger and freight operations in the corridor with no new physical components improvements. SLOCOG, TAMC, Caltrans DOR, and the Coast Rail Coordinating Committee (CRCC), along with FRA developed alternatives through an iterative process that incorporated design and analysis completed by other government agencies, independent planning and feasibility studies, and the scoping process. This chapter describes all alternatives considered by the above agencies, including those rejected from further consideration in the Program EIS/EIR and the basis for rejection. The Chapter is organized into the following sections: . Section 2.1 describes the background and planning context.
