Thanks are due to the San Diego City Council for joining other California cities in opposing a toll-road extension that would run through a state park and an unspoiled watershed before ending in northern San Diego County.
Your resolution against the proposed extension of the 241 toll road sends a strong message that San Onofre State Park and the world-famous surf breaks of Trestles are worth saving as special places enjoyed by many San Diegans.
Special thanks to Councilman Kevin Faulconer, who kept an open mind after initially opposing the resolution. He even toured the area to gain further understanding of the issues at stake.
Sure, transportation issues between San Diego and Orange County require attention and action, but is the best answer we can come up with in 2007 to just keep paving over a highly used and naturally beneficial open space like we did back in the ’50s?
Are we really going to start running highways (toll roads) through our state parks? Great weather and beautiful outdoor spaces are what makes California special. People don’t fall in love with our great concrete.
Thank you, San Diego City Councilmembers Scott Peters, Kevin Faulconer, Donna Frye, Brian Maienshein, Toni Atkins and Tony Young, for voting to protect one of California’s special places.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
