The Save Trestles campaign joins Step It Up 2007 to raise awareness about climate change and the unnecessary 241 toll road extension.

Why are the two groups joining efforts? Because more roads mean more cars—and more cars mean more greenhouse gases. It’s that simple.

On Saturday, Nov 3, Step It Up is organizing events all around the country, calling for leadership on global warming. From coast to coast, people are gathering.

Join Surfrider, and other environmental organizations for a beach cleanup at Trestles. Meet at the Trestles Parking lot at 4pm. Then join us for an after party at WestEdge.

Toll Road Hearing Postponed--TCA is Cornered

The Coastal Commission hearing regarding the proposal for the extension of the Foothill-South Toll Road has been postponed.

Therefore we will not attend the October 11th hearing.

The TCA asked for an extension on their application. They say they need more time to digest the Coastal Commission Staff report. That's probably because the staff report found the toll road couldn't possibly be done in an environmentally conscious way, and there was no amount of mitigation that could justify it!

In addition, we believe the TCA is back-peddling because they are intimidated by our efforts and recent victories! We beat them in San Diego when the City passed a resolution to protect San Onofre State Park. Then, the TCA continued to falter after a recent poll found 70% of Orange County voters do not support toll roads through State Parks. Plus, the TCA has been receiving bad press, and their newest attempt to throw $100 million at State Parks fell flat.

They are stalling—we are prevailing—but your continued supported is more important than ever!

Stay tuned for additional updates! We need your assistance in other ways very soon! We will keep you posted on when the hearing is rescheduled.

We want to thank everyone who came to the Paddle Out on Saturday. We had a great turn out and this is exactly the kind of event that keeps the pressure on the TCA. Of course, we’ll be planning more visible events in the near future to make sure the TCA knows we are not resting on our laurels!

Thanks again for your enormous help in opposing this destructive proposal and your efforts to protect San Onofre State Beach.
