Anyone looking 'here' knows the drill:
The TCA make wild-eyed OC Toll Road claims as those of us
with eyes to see, ears to hear, and voices to speak ask,
"Ahh, hold on pal, that's more TCA-BS you're spewing.
Ya'wanna hear some TRUTH!"
And we tell'em.
On Feb. 6 - 08, in Del Mar CA, California's Coastal
Commission spoke pure-sweet-Truth to TCA:
"A toll road to Trestles, thru conservancy land, thru
the San Mateo Watershed, thru Panhe Native American
land, thru San Onofre State Beach Park, will never happen.
There are solid traffic alternatives - go figure it out, because
a toll road to Trestles would have no positive effect on
1-5 traffic, period."
TCA did not want to hear that.
Typically, TCA slandered CCC's decision, calling all of us,
(the largest citizen-group in CCC's 25-year history ever to
attend a CCC Hearing), an out of control circus.
We were not surprised.
And we were not a circus.
4,500 surfers, campers, hikers - folks protecting what's
rightly ours, in 1-room, behaved magnificently. All the
while bombarded by TCA's typical avalanche of spin,
half-truths, and lies.
25-year old TCA lies - recooked, rehashed, regurgitated
adnauseam for 18-hours. We took it.
Then the CCC delivered.
Their omnipotent power, even greater than TCA's lies.
Trestles won the day.
But we didn't win the war.
We knew that.
A huge victory regardless.
It felt like a miracle.
CCC's perfect decision Feb 6th showed what happens
when very good people are well informed, make common
sense decisions, based on facts, backed by huge public support.
Now that same public support for Trestles, and for San'o,
our Yosemite of Surfing, is needed one more time.
That's what the sign's about.
We must save Trestles again.
Friday July 25th, on the UCI campus, in the Bren Center.
Let's hope it's a REALLY big room.
TCA is panicky.
Their back's to the wall.
Who knows how many paid-toll road shills they'll
bus-in this time.
TCA's entire 51-mile toll road system here is failing.
With gas heading to $7 a gallon, OC toll roads are the
wrong idea at the wrong time.
TCA lost nearly a million riders in the last 12 months.
They're literally, running on empty.
They are empty.
The upcoming July 25th Hearing, most likely will be
all day and into the night.
Del Mar began at dawn and went to 11:30p.m.
That was Big Wednesday.
This will be bigger - Big Friday
The Federal Commerce Dept wants to hear our/your
Public Opinion – State Park versus toll road.
Over 2000 signed up to speak in Del Mar for our side.
Obviously we didn't all speak.
Our Coastal Commission spoke for us.
So come on Citizen, let's do it one more time for Trestles.
Because, like it says on the website:
Save Trestles, and we save everything good.
The TCA is so looney, they predict taking 8-lanes worth
of capacity/traffic off I-5 at Trestles. But their road-plan only
calls for paving 2-lanes each way? At $15 a one-way toll
they won't be taking one-half of one lane off I-5 ever.
If we let it happen, the joke is on us, our kids, our grandkids
and our great, great grandkids.
Let's finish-off this hideous, destructive,
useless toll road idea July 25th.
Be there. It's gonna be huge.
You wouldn't want to miss it.
Save Trestles, and we save everything good.
Lose it, and it's gone forever.
