Fate of Trestles, toll road project may soon be known

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on November 18, 2008 at 1:19 pm

From the Outposts Blog at the LA Times:

A U.S. Department of Commerce decision is expected soon regarding a controversial toll road extension that would slice through a portion of San Onofre State Beach, jeopardizing a pristine watershed that is home to endangered species, and also jeopardizing the famous Trestles surf breaks.

In case you missed it, the L.A. Times devoted nearly a page in Monday’s California edition outlining issues that have made the proposed project so contentious. Personally, I despise the idea as much as I despise heavy traffic.

What the story glossed over were the pros and cons of developing state parks.

Outdoors enthusiasts ought to oppose any project that sacrifices even a portion of any state park. Parks ought to be considered sacred ground and protected against all infringements of civilization.

Isn’t that the purpose behind them?
