Toll Road Hearing Set for Sept. 22
by Robin Everett

The moment we all have been waiting for is approaching. The federal government hearing regarding the Foothill-South Toll Road has been rescheduled for Mon., Sept. 22, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The hearing will be held at O'Brien Hall from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The facility is located at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd. in Del Mar. Boy, they sure aren’t making testifying easy!

Federal administrators say they want to hear our opinions regarding the Foothill-South Toll Road and its devastating effects on San Onofre State Beach, the San Mateo Campground and Trestles, but they are limiting public participation. 
 

Those wanting to testify at the Commerce Hearing must send in a request by Sept. 12, and not everyone who sends in a request will be allowed to speak. Though the federal administration may not want to hear from us, we need to make sure that our voices ring loud and clear.
