Friends,
We just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the Surfrider Foundation’s Save Trestles campaign.
On January 5, the Surfrider Foundation’s Save Trestles campaign got a big shot in the arm when the Oceanside City Council voted to oppose the TCA plan for the 241 Foothill South extension. Activists from both the Surfrider Foundation’s South Orange County and San Diego Chapters were on hand to provide public comment before the Council. As a result of this community outcry, as well as the hard work of Oceanside Mayor Shari Mackin, the Council ended up voting 3-2 to support a measure to oppose the project. (See press release)
As many of you know, traffic throughout Oceanside and other North San Diego cities will be greatly impacted should the 241 extension go in (and bring with it a glut of incremental east/west traffic). This is yet just another reason to oppose this ill-conceived plan – which among other things will adversely impact the quality of both the water and shape of the surf breaks at and around Trestles.
In other news, preliminary findings from an independent engineering study commissioned by the Natural Resources Defense Council indicate that the TCA’s assertion that the widening of the I-5 corridor would result in the displacement of “over a hundred homes and businesses” was greatly exaggerated. In actuality, the maximum number is somewhere between 10 to 20.
More lies on behalf of the TCA…
We will be keeping you all up to date as we approach the January 12th deadline for CEQA comments on the TCA’s EIR, and look forward to being able to share some BIG NEWS on efforts undertaken by the Foundation to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Until then, please continue to visit www.savetrestles.org for updates and information and above all, SPREAD THE WORD. We need all the support we can get!
Best,
The Surfrider Foundation
These comments have been invaluable to me as is this whole site. I thank you for your comment.
