Safe Trestles is an ideas contest, organized by the non-profit Architecture for Humanity and working with the San Onofre Froundation, to develop a safe and low-impact solution to access Trestles, one of North America’s most prized waves. Currently, over 100,000 people each year follow informal trails through marshlands and over active train tracks to gain access to the surf breaks at Trestles. These impromptu manmade paths present a safety hazard with passing trains and threaten the marine habitat that is home to a number of endangered animal species and important flora.
Back in May we received over 100 entries from 25 Countries and local community and industry stakeholders narrowed the field down to these top 5 finalists who have been refining their designs over the summer. Vote for your favorite and leave your comments below.
