The Mayor and Council need to hear loud and clear that we support this resolution and that WE NEED TO STOP THE TOLL ROAD AND SAVE TRESTLES!

PLEASE NOTE:
Despite the recent decision by the Transportation Corridor Agency to approve a plan to construct the extension of the 241 Foothill South Toll Road along and through the San Mateo Creek watershed, through the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy and San Onofre State Beach Park's San Mateo campground, and link up with Interstate 5 near Basilone Road, we are still supporting the efforts of the Surfrider Foundation, NRDC, Sierra Club, Friends of the Foothills and just about every surfer on the planet who has surfed Trestles and San-O and camped at San Mateo to oppose this project.
