The short explanation of this alert was:

The Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) seek to revive their plan for the Foothill-South Toll Road through a recent appeal to the Federal Government.

This project, if allowed, would be the first time in California that a local agency could take state parkland for its own infrastructure use, setting a dangerous precedent and putting all our state parks at risk.  According to the California State Parks Foundation the Foothill-South Toll Road will destroy nearly 60% of San Onofre State Park, California's 6th most popular state park, causing the likely abandonment of the San Mateo Campground, and harming the water quality of Southern California's last pristine watershed.

San Onofre State Beach is far away from Washington D.C.!  U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez is hearing from special interest groups and the TCA's lobbyists.  Now he needs to hear from you.

Send a message to Commerce Secretary Gutierrez asking him to review the TCA's appeal based on facts.  The TCA would have us believe that a toll road through our state park is the only solution to our traffic problems.  This is a false choice presented by a single-purpose agency.  The Foothill-South Toll Road was soundly rejected by the California Coastal Commission for its serious and unmitigable effects on the environment.
