[Dynagroove] Calling all DJ's, house heads and friends of the environment-PLEASE READ

[Tim Jeffers]

I am writing the house community in an attempt to pull
us together to organize an event to do what we do
best.  Greenhouse LA is looking to work together with
organizations such as Surfrider Foundation, Sierra
Club and any other friends of the environment to raise
money and hopefully awareness to an important battle
going on in our own backyard. One of Southern
California's premier surf breaks and natural habitats
is once again being threatened by pavement which would
destroy much of it's beauty and stability people spend
years of time, effort and money to preserve.  Here is
the issue at hand:


The Transportation Corridor Agency, a privately held
company, is seeking to build an extension to the
existing 241 Toll Road. The proposed Foothill
Transportation Corridor South (FTC-South) is a
sixteen-mile long toll road highway that would connect
the current terminus of the 241 Toll Road to
Interstate 5. The TCA is proposing six alignments for
this project; four of which run directly through and
along San Mateo Creek. If constructed, not only would
this project directly threaten the world class surf
break at and around Trestles (including Uppers,
Lowers, Middles, Church and Cottons), the project
would also result in the obliteration of Southern
California’s last remaining pristine coastal watershed
and substantially degrade habitat that is critical for
the survival of at least seven endangered species,
including the Southern Steelhead trout.

So what can we do?  I am going to coordinate an
event/demonstration with the goal of raising funds to
fight the project, create public awareness, and
generate signatures to fight this proposal.

So I'm asking for the help of any DJ's who would be
willing to dedicate a day of their time for this
cause. Any promoters who would like to help coordinate
this event would also be eagerly welcomed. And pretty
much anyone who could offer any help or ideas for this
are greatly appreciated.  If nothing else, please
visit the website savetrestles.org for more info on
how you can help fight this. And lastly, if you aren't
already, become a member of surfrider foundation.

Peace and thanks,
Tim Jeffers
