There will be no public hearing on July 25th
We were informed this weekend that UC Irvine's Bren Center will NOT play host to the Commerce Department's public hearing on the 241 Toll Road on July 25th. They feared that the turnout from supporters of San Onofre State Beach and Trestles would overwhelm the facilities at UCI, estimating that over 10,000 of you would show up.
Clearly there is strong community opposition to this destructive highway project, and those voices need to be heard. Unfortunately no other venue has been identified, and the Commerce Department has made no definitive decision on how or when to move forward with the hearing. We will keep you informed as the situation develops, but for now we are assuming there will be NO Hearing on July 25th at the Bren Center.

Long Beach’s City Council wants a study done on reconfiguring the Long Beach Breakwater and Tuesday night approved a $100,000 contract to an engineering firm to do it.
The challenge will be getting the Army Corps of Engineers to look at it.

(June 17, 2008) -- The City Council voted 6-2 (DeLong, Lerch dissenting, Vice Mayor Bonnie Lowenthal absent) tonight (June 17) to allocate up to $100,000 from LB's Tidelands Fund for a reconnaissance study to determine if there's a federal interest in reconfiguring the LB Breakwater (proponents say to restore some wave action and produce cleaner water).
The item had been agendized by Councilmembers Patrick O'Donnell and Rae Gabelich.
As previously reported by LBReport.com, $50,000 of the cost may be covered by a Coastal Conservancy grant IF Congress appropriates $30,000 for Corps of Engineers work on the project.
