We knew we should have flown down to Del Mar today. Looks like the the US Commerce Department hearing over route 241 tuned into more of a yelling and screaming, according to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Despite repeated warnings to maintain decorum, supporters and opponents of the proposed state Route 241 toll-road extension both cheered and jeered dozens of speakers at a public hearing Monday. . . . At times, some of those in the crowd of more than 1,000 drowned out the speakers. “Stop the lies,” yelled a woman from the audience.
Leave it to the engineers, construction workers, and unions to think that stopping this new road is all about them. For a surf-industry perspective check out Sean O’Brien’s story and photos on Surfexpo.com.
