Surfline Covers the TCA delay
The future of Trestles is not concrete yet. And for now, its defenders can find strange solace in that uncertainty. It is better news, after all, than most could have foreseen a year ago.
In a recent committee meeting, the Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) announced an unexpected change in plans -- the targeted start date for the 241-Toll Road extension has been postponed from 2008 to 2010, at the earliest. William Woollett, the agency's CEO, explained that the decision was made in light of expected delays in obtaining permits from the US Fish & Wildlife Service and the California Coastal Commission.

TCA gets a taste of Chinese Democracy
Big news came down yesterday…
THE TCA ANNOUNCED THAT IT IS POSTPONING THEIR TARGETED START DATE FOR THE 241 TOLL ROAD FROM 2008 TO AT LEAST 2010 !!!
The surprise announcement was made at the end of the TCA’s Operation and Budget Committee meeting by the TCA’s CEO himself, William Woollett.
Woollett, along with the TCA’s Deputy Director of Environment and Planning, Macie Cleary Milan cited several reasons for the postponement – notably the three outstanding lawsuits that have been filed by the California Attorney General’s Office, Native American Heritage Foundation, and of course the Surfrider Foundation and it’s coalition partners! Cleary Milan also noted that the agency is expecting delays in receiving permits from both the US Fish & Wildlife Service and the California Coastal Commission.
I need not tell you that this is OUTSTANDING NEWS for the SAVE TRESTLES campaign! The longer this campaign drags out, the closer we get to the TCA’s non-compete agreement with Cal Trans running out!!
Now the big question is: Which is more likely…the TCA winning approval for the 241 Toll Road anytime before 2020 or Guns n’ Roses actually deciding to release Chinese Democracy?
“Toll roads are essential – blah, blah, blah!” - William Woollett
VS.
“This album will blow away ‘Appetite For Destruction’ – blah, blah, blah!” – Axl Rose
