Big Wednesday!

Trestles needs you to attend the Coastal Commission Hearing this Wednesday February 6, 2008!

This Coastal Commission hearing is our chance to stop the Toll Road through San Onofre State Park and Beach. With last week’s passage of federal legislation requiring the TCA to comply with state law, a “No” vote from the California Coastal Commission would be a killing blow to the Toll Road.

The hearing will start at 9am and will go all day. If you are not driving with our bus/carpool you can show up whenever you want. However, we'd like people there at 9am; and if you want to testify you need to turn in your speaker slip in the morning.

It's difficult to say how long the hearing will last. Our goal is to keep the venue filled with our supporters throughout the day. Even if you can only make it for part of the morning or the afternoon, that would be great!

If you are driving yourself, there is a $9 parking fee. However, thanks to the generosity of our friends at ASR and Dr. Know, we will be offering a few supporters (people who sign in at our booth) $5 in cash to help offset parking cost. This will be "on a first come, first served basis".

Is there a way to keep up with the day’s events?


Yes. The Surfrider Foundation will be webcasting updates using Twitter. Simply go to www.twitter.com/savetrestles for real-time updates throughout the day.
