Act now to save Trestles. The vote that would have sent a multi-lane freeway through San onofre State Park has been delayed until February 23, 2006! The Orange County Register reports that the governor's administration sent a letter to the Transportation Corridor Agency requesting "addtional time for the administration to review comments and concerns." The letter was co-signed by Secretary of the California Resources Agency Mike Chrisman and Secretary of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency Sunne Wright McPeak, according to OC Weekly.
