One of the things that folks should be aware of when watching or reading about the Boost Mobile Pro (Presented by Hurley) that's currently taking place at Lower Trestles is the growing campaign to save the spot from further development (i.e. more pavement).
According to SaveTrestles.org, the issue is as follows:
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.
