Save the Date to Save Trestles

Posted on September 20, 2008 @ 6:35 AM

The fight for Trestles is not over.  There is a Secretary of Commerce hearing coming up this Monday and the Save Trestles campaign need as many people as possible to head down to the Del Mar Fairgrounds to show the federal government that the people do not want a toll road running through a State Park. Go and show your support!

WHEN: Monday, September 22 from 10:30am until 8:30pm.

WHERE: O’Brien Hall at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Del Mar, CA 92014

WHO: Surfrider Foundation activists, surfers, hikers and everyone who opposes the extension of the 241 Toll Road. 

WHAT: It’s time to defend Trestles!  On September 22, the Secretary of Commerce will hold a public hearing for the appeal of the 241 Toll Road.  This is the time to show the Federal Government that we do not want a toll road running through a State Park and running the camping and surfing experiences at San Onofre State Beach.
The hearing is expected to go all day, and the Surfrider Foundation is hosting interactive stations and activities outside the hearing such as face painting for kids, Frisbee, hacky sack, sign making and letter writing.  There are letter “drop boxes” at the hearing and Surfrider plans to fill the boxes with letters opposing the toll road.

INFO: Please note that there are several hearing procedures in place for the hearing. Hand-held signs cannot be larger than 13x22 inches, and to ensure that all signs are appropriately sized, the Surfrider Foundation will be setting up sign-making stations and passing out pre-made signs.
