Proposed toll road expansion only mostly dead…
The LA Times is reporting today that while the California Coastal Commission denied the expansion of the toll road route as proposed, there is still the option of appealing the decision to the U.S. Secretary of Commerce since the land is owned by the federal government and leased to the state by the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base. According to the Times, since 1977 about a dozen of these types of appeals have been made and about half of them were successful. The other option for the toll road is to take a different route near the coast which could potentially take it out of the jurisdiction of the Coastal Commission. It looks like the potential for a happy medium might be reached after all?
