Surfers and environmental groups in Orange County, California, have been fighting a proposed toll road through a world-renowned surf break (Trestles) for several years now, and last week, the state Coastal Commission voted 8-2 against the road, a big win for the Sierra Club's Friend of the Foothills project.
The proposed Foothill-South Toll Road would have cut through the heart of San Onofre State Beach located near San Clemente, destroying nearly 60 percent of the park, affecting a popular campground and pristine watershed, as well as the surf beach.
