Trestles Hearing Recap
Hi there! Thanks to everybody who came out for yesterday’s hearing at the Del Mar Fairgrounds! The event was a success by all accounts, with savetrestles.org reporting that nearly 3,000 surfers, nature lovers, and members of the Acjachemen Native American tribe showed up to voice their opposition to the TCA and their ill-designed toll road plans. (For more information on the plight of Acjachemen, who regard San Onofre State Park as sacred ground, check out this website).
For those of you who couldn’t make it out, don’t worry! There’s still plenty of time to make your voice heard! The Secretary of Commerce is slated to make his final decision sometime between Oct. 24, 2009 and January 7, 2009, and we still have until Oct. 2 to overwhelm him with emails and letters showing our support for Trestles and San Onofre State Park! Not sure what to say? The people at the Surfrider Foundation have made it easy for you! Go here and all you have to do is fill out some basic info and write your name under this pre-composed letter. Even if you were at yesterday’s hearing, you should still do this!
Anyways, thanks again to everyone for your continued support in the effort to save our local coastal environment! I’ll be sure to keep you updated with more info when I get it! Until then, check savetrestles.org for all the latest news on the toll road debate.
