Pivotal Trestles Toll Road Meeting To Occur July 25

A note From Bob Mignogna, former publisher of Surfing Magazine and one of the major surf industry organizers behind the Save Trestles Movement:

"This is the single most important meeting yet. This is a MUST ATTEND event to Save Trestles. I realize this is a day during the U.S. Open, but Surfrider did not control the scheduling. That decision came from the U.S. Secretary of Commerce. Please consider allowing all/many of your employees to take the day to attend the event instead of coming to the office. The more people representing the Surf Industry, the more influence we will have as an industry in determining the outcome. With the meeting located in the heart of Velcro Valley, we should have a tremendous showing. Surfrider will let us know about parking Team RVs, buses and vans.

The Secretary of Commerce’s office has just announced that there will be a hearing to receive public comment on the Transportation Corridor Agencies appeal of February’s California Coastal Commission decision to deny consistency for the planed extension to the 241 FTC toll road.

The hearing will be on Friday, July 25th, at the University of California Irvine’s Bren Events Center.

This is our biggest hearing yet. Should the Secretary of Commerce uphold the CCC’s decision, this would effectively stop the toll road project dead in its tracks! As such, we are hoping to drive as many people as we can to the hearing!

So mark the date on your calendars and tell your friends and co-workers to do the same.
