Summary: Tomorrow the state Coastal Commission will vote on a proposal for a toll road that runs right through San Onofre State Beach. The toll road would connect San Diego and Orange Counties, and it will lessen traffic on the 5. There are many endangered species in the area, and the four-lane road would rob surfers of one of their most sacred spots and people who wantto camp there.
Reaction: No. No. No. I have been to San Onofre beach and it is really nice. Surfers call it the Yosemite of surfing, and the park is home to many endangered species. It isn't worth having another freeway, especially one that just goes to the same place. If lazy people get on the road at the right time, there won't be as much traffic on the 5, jeez! And plus if they build this monster, it could spark other ideas. I can see it now, a freeway that cuts right through Yosemite, or a nice freeway to get people conveniently across that pesky Grand Canyon.
