PREVENT LOS ANGELES GRIDLOCK USURPING ENVIRONMENT
GOT PLAGUE AND NO MEDICINE?
The BEST KEPT SECRET in San Diego County is Caltrans proposed massive expansion of the I-5 from La Jolla to Oceanside. The Connector project (connecting I-5 to SR-56) would include a flyover at Del Mar Heights to Carmel Valley at up to 70' high. THE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR ENVIRONMENT IS ALMOST UNIMAGINABLE! The air quality will suffer, as well as the overall environment of the I-5 corridor. Houses and businesses will be in jeopardy of emminent domain or reverse condemnation.
P.L.A.G.U.E. MISSION STATEMENT
P.L.A.G.U.E. is a community action group that opposes Caltrans' (State of California) from turning San Diego into a Los Angeles-like concrete jungle. The proposals include additions up to 22 lanes in some sensitive areas, especially in North County which has 7 ocean lagoons and other environmental areas that will be severely and adversely affected. The additional noise level will be so high it would reach Torrey Pines State Beach as well as every other one up the coast. Caltrans has stated that we cannot build our way out of gridlock and that is exactly what they are proposing to again attempt with 3-4 billion dollars. That is the proposed price now but that will double or triple by the time the shovels start.
