OCdriver-

Nice spin from TCA, but I’m not buying it. The proposed route of the 241 extension would run alongside San Mateo Creek. There’s no doubt it would cause runoff to fall into the creek and pollute the seawater. Also, this would change the sediment flow and tamper with the waves at Trestles. And sorry, but there’s no way TCA’s promises of “treatment” will be able to take care of all the runoff. If the Toll Road to Trestles happens, Trestles is ruined.

just asking-

I hope you’re right. I hope the Coastal Commissioners have more common sense than Arnold. They need to recognize that the best way to “go green” is to save the little bit of pristine green open space we have left.

Arnold needs to get OC reeps back on his side if he wants to get anything done this year. He knows that the Costal Commission will not approve the road. So this way he looks like a hero to the developers and politicos who want to build a ton of homes and retail along this new proposed road (bringing more congestion).

Commission will not approve this road and Arnold will get what he really wants which is the protected environment, just ask Maria!

The road won’t end at Trestles. It ends a half mile from the beach at Basilone road. Check out the plans. And also the water quality program they proposed to protect the beaches, including new drainage plans for part of I-5 where problems currently exist.
