  • Why The Toll Road Is Dead

    The Foothill-South (241) toll road extension, as we know it, is dead. Bold claim, you say? Presumptuous, maybe? Not so. Recently, mi hermano Gustavo Arellano pinpointed the root cause of the Transportation Corridor Agencies' failure to gain Coastal Commission approval for their Final Solution to San Onofre State Beach: ARROGANCE.

The hearing was to go off last month in the Bren Events Center until fears about the expected crowd size, coupled with a sl

  • Toll Road Foister Jerry Amante: We're Doomed

    As chairman of the Orange County Transportation Authority, the Transportation Corridor System Board of Directors and the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA), Tustin City Councilman Jerry Amante (pictured) is all over the news today, reacting bitterly to the Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez's decision announced yesterday to uphold the California Coastal Commission rejection of the TCA's preferred route for the Foothill/South toll road extension.For instance, as local envi
