TOLL ROAD APPEAL COMMENTS

Beginning yesterday April 28th, the public will have 30 days to tell the federal government whether it should overrule the state Coastal Commission and allow the long proposed Foothill South toll road to be built.

The appeal to the Commerce Department is the last chance toll road supporters have to resurrect the project that the Commission rejected in February.

"Pursuant to regulation, the public and interested Federal agencies may submit any comments on this appeal from April 28, 2008 to May 28, 2008. All comments should be directed in writing to the NOAA Office of General Counsel for Ocean Services, 1305 East-West Highway, Room 6111, Silver Spring, MD 20910 or via e-mail to gcos.comments@noaa.gov. "
