TOLL ROAD AGENCY CHAIR ASKS CONGRESSWOMAN TO CORRECT ERRORS
Rep. Susan Davis’ Congressional Web site includes misinformation and factual errors regarding the 241 Toll Road project
IRVINE, Calif. (January 7, 2008) -- The Chair of the Board that oversees the 241 Toll Road today sent a letter to Rep. Susan Davis urging the Congresswoman to withdraw her amendment to the Defense Authorization Bill, remove false information about the 241 Toll Road from a press release on her Congressional Web site and to provide the Coastal Commission with the facts.
“The release contains factual errors and serious misrepresentations of the project and of your amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill,” Chairman Lance MacLean states in the letter. “By publicizing and publishing these errors online, your office is misleading the Coastal Commissioners, who are now considering TCA’s application for a consistency finding for the (2.2 mile) portion of the project in the coastal zone.”
Rep. Davis authored an amendment that will politicize the approval process for the final 16 miles of the 241 Toll Road. Planning for the roadway has been underway since the mid 1990s by a group of federal, environmental and transportation agencies to determine the best alignment and help solve major regional transportation issues. Every aspect of the alignment is designed with sensitivity to the environment, neighboring communities and the coastline. The alignment also best serves the training mission of the Marines at Camp Pendleton. More information visit: www.RelieveTraffic.org.
