Save Trestles Campaign victorious in San Diego

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 27 September, 2007 : - - No good thing should come easy. After failing to gain the support of the San Diego City Council last year, we went back and spent the last 11 months meeting with each member of the San Diego City Council and presented them with the facts. Then yesterday, by a vote of 6-2, the San Diego City Council voted to adopt a resolution supporting San Onofre State Beach Park and opposing the planned SR-241 toll road extension!! 

This now means that our efforts to stop the 241 toll road extension and protect our State Park and San Mateo Creek watershed resources are supported by the three largest cities in California: San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, as well as nearly a dozen other cities around the state!So take that TCA…  That’s how we roll.  You think we’re going to quit?  You think you’re ever going to wear us down?  You’re wrong bitches! 

Next stop – the California Coastal Commission hearing on October 11th in San Pedro.  This is a big one folks!! This hearing will determine whether the TCA’s 241 extension project is consistent with the California Coastal Act.  We are asking everyone to take a moment and send one of our Action Alert emails to the California Coastal Commission.  Simply click here to send them a message. 

The Surfrider Foundation has also reserved several motor coaches to shuttle activists from South Orange County and San Diego to San Pedro.  If you are interested in attending the meeting (we need all the bodies we can get there folks!) and would like to go up on one of the buses, please email Stefanie at ssekich@surfrider.org as soon as possible! 

We’ll be sending out more information on the upcoming CCC meeting soon. Thanks to everyone for their continued support – especially the following people: Dylan Slater and all the crew at the San Clemente Rip Curl Center, Aaron Checkwood and the crew at Dragon, Chris Ernst and the fine folks at Boost Mobile, Bugs, Brody, Melissa and everyone else at ASP, Steve Long, Mick Fanning, Taylor Knox and Pancho Sullivan, and of course “Mr. Trestles” himself - Bob Mignogna!
