January 22, 2009New poll shows mixed bag on 241 toll extension
Photo by Craig Coppola/Courtesy Surfrider. A poll released this morning shows that OC voters are generally in favor of more toll roads, but not when they go through protected state parks. The poll, which was financed by the California State Parks Foundation, asked 400 voters from each of the county's five supervisorial districts several questions in hopes of measuring opinions about toll roads and, in particular, a proposed extension of the 241 Toll Road through San Onofre State Park
October 2, 2007Toll Road Sound-Byte Wars
Governor Arnold Schwarnzenegger thinks the TCA's 241 (Foothill-South) toll road extension (which would bisect San Onofre State Beach, impact an Indian burial ground, mess with Trestles and possibly bring about Apocalypse) is about as tasty as steroids or a married woman's breast. The TCA (or Transportation Corridor Agencies) promise to atone for dicking with the environment by donating $100 Million as mitigation (which basically means damages) to California State Parks, not just for San Onofre b
January 18, 2008Picture Your Favorite Park. Now Picture It Gone.
Fresh off the system of tubes some call an internets from the California State Parks Foundation comes an announcement of a photo contest.

The California Coastal Commission voted at 11:18 p.m. Wednesday night to deny a coastal permit to the Transportation Corridor Agencies. It will now be much more difficult for the TCA to construct the Foothill-South (241) toll road extension. The vote was 8-2 in favor of denying certification. More to follow! VOTES BY COMMISSIONER: Blank – NO Burke – YES Clark – NO Kram – YES Neely – NO Reilly – NO Shallenberger – NO Wan – NO Kruer – NO (some voters were inaudible due to ch
February 6, 2008J Flynn Gallery Goes Bye-Bye
Weekly art critic Greg Stacy writes: "It is my sorry duty to report that we recently lost yet another fine local gallery, the J Flynn of Costa Mesa. Recent months have seen far too many local galleries close up for good, as the art world continues to suffer the effects of the ailing economy. In a time of recession, fine art becomes a luxury too few can afford. And if nobody buys the stuff, the galleries go away and the world becomes just a little bit more ugly every day."
