Trout Underground wants *you* to submit comments against the toll road

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on January 31, 2008 at 9:38 pm

From Tom Chandler & the Trout Underground:

Jim Troyer – the Underground’s Director of Saltwater Fly Fishing and Beach-Related Alcohol Consumption – asked for some quick help on this one.

In Southern California, they’re fighting a pretty desperate battle to keep some yutzes form building a private, freeway-sized toll road that would run right through San Onofre State Park and Beach in Southern California. (As if SoCal needs ONE MORE DAMNED FREEWAY to clog.)

This would put the boots to San Mateo Creek — the southernmost home to steelhead (which just happen to be endangered). Not to mention doing a number on famous surf spot Trestles beach.

This isn’t some idle threat — they’re on the verge of approving this “let’s privatize a public resource for someone else’s profit” thing, and even Ahhnold the Terminator has thrown his considerable, steroid-enhanced weight behind it (”Ahllll be back… for your pawks and beaches).

Tom’s looking for a few good men & women to submit comments against the toll road. For the rest of this post from the Trout Underground, including a link where you can send your comments to, click here. And if you haven’t already, check out the Trout Underground blog. It’s chock full of good stuff – and be sure to read the comments; they’re great!
