New Federal Government Hearing Set for September 22nd!

The Transportation Corridor Agencies (YEACH) seek to bring the ill conceived Foothill-South Toll Road back from the dead with a recent appeal to the Federal Government. (OH YA?) There will be a public hearing on Monday, September 22nd at O'Brien Hall at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The hearing will be held from 10:30 am--8:30 pm. O'Brien Hall is located at 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar. AND WE WILL BE THERE!

Please note that in order to speak you must send in your request to speak by Sept 12th! Please fill out this form!!!

Those TCA Kooks have asked the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to override the California Coastal Commission's NO vote regarding the Foothill-South Toll Road. In a shocking testament to TCA's consistent and repeated failure to address the public's concerns regarding this fool road, they have urged the Department of Commerce to deny the public an opportunity to participate in a hearing on the appeal, SOP from the TCA!

This project would be the first time in California that a local agency could take state parkland for its own infrastructure use, setting a dangerous precedent and putting all our state parks at risk. According to the California State Parks Foundation the Foothill-South Toll Road will destroy nearly 60% of San Onofre State Park, California's 6th most popular state park, causing the likely abandonment of the San Mateo Campground, and harming the water quality of Southern California's last pristine watershed.

San Onofre State Beach is far away from Washington D.C.! U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez is hearing from special interest groups and the TCA's lobbyists. Now he needs to hear from YOU!

Send a message to Commerce Secretary Gutierrez asking him to review the TCA's appeal based on FACTS not the TCA's LIES! The TCA would have us believe that a toll road through our state park is the only solution to our traffic problems. This is a false choice presented by a single-purpose agency. The Foothill-South Toll Road was soundly rejected by the California Coastal Commission for its serious and unmitigable effects on the environment...
