Q & A: 241 tollway hearing: Event will hear public testimony on the rejected O.C. turnpike route

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on July 9, 2008 at 7:06 am

From the Los Angeles Times:

A July 25 public hearing has been set by the Department of Commerce for an appeal of the rejection of the proposed Foothill South toll road through San Onofre State Beach. The route has been the focus of a battle between those opposed to any encroachment on the state park and those backing an alternative to Interstate 5.

Here are some guidelines on the hearing set by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

What is the hearing about?

It is to gather public opinion about the proposed 16-mile extension of California 241. In February, the state Coastal Commission rejected the route. This hearing is part of an appeal by the Irvine-based Transportation Corridor Agencies.

Where and when will it be held?

The UC Irvine Bren Events Center, July 25, from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Directions: www.bren.uci.edu.

Why is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric agency holding the hearing?

Because its Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, which is part of the Commerce Department, administers the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. The act was passed by Congress to manage growth in the coastal zone.
