Will the McDonalds be overlooking the beach or integrated into the parking lot?

“Designed to make access to the beach a more enjoyable experience…” For who?

Since 1953, my family has been passing by this landmark between San Diego and my grandparents house in South Laguna. I want my great grandchildren to see Trestles just like it is. Please let it be!

Just say no. How much will it cost taxpayers to put this in? It is not needed, especially in a state, and a country that has incredible deficits in spending already, it is irresponsible to be spending any funds on a project like this, and then turn around and underfund education. I am suspicious of what the big motive is here. Even if there were no deficits there are better ways to spend our money, like restoring native plants along the natural path, and protecting the native species that live in the area. Leave it Alone. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Here’s an idea it’ll cost nothing and is eco sound – leave it alone so people who make the effort can enjoy it as it is.

HEY GREAT IDEA!
A TOLL PATH!
Can we pave that nasty ol’ creek too? Algae scares me!! And is icky.
We can make an ECO FRIENDLY giant cement river like LA has. And hire artists to paint images of wetlands and unicorns!!
I love unicorns!!.
And an eco friendly cement wading pool to replace that ugly lagoon.
And put in swim toys!
And once a Dolphin popped up next to me in the line up, it made me make potty in my wetsuit.
Can we have a design competition to have an Eco Friendly steel net around the surf ? Cause I was scared.
Will there be plenty of room for us to slap Eco Friendly surf stickers all over this walkway?
Can we have a little encounter center to educate people on what the area would look like without a path?
Can we have a snack bar that sells unicorn t-shirts?
I love this idea!

No waves today but I did have time for a walk with my dog from the parking lot, down the old coast highway to the Lowers trail, down the beach to Church, then up the bluff trail to the lifeguard tower overlooking the whole pristine (almost) area, and back up the back way. Please, it’s not broke, it doesn’t need fixing. I also agree with Kelly and that Brett guy, “Leave it alone”

There is very little left of what I knew as ‘Trestles’ in the early 1960′s. Any further development will take what is left away forever. The freeway noise, trails, pollution, endless contests, explosion of the number of surfers, and now this idea? It will be the final death nail in Trestles coffin.

Really!! Yes this is a trumped up scam to overpay a developer from a Cal State Bank that has no money. Really! would they allow this to happen in Yosemite National Park trails to HalfDome? Would they allow this to happen on trails down the Grand Canyon? These kind of structures are just begging to be “tagged” by inner city visitors, who foots the bill to clean that up? I say leave Trestles alone! Preserve the natural beauty of one of our last remaining undeveloped natural resources, put any money into maintaining it’s natural beauty. These designs belong in a theme park not in nature. You design nature inspired structures to recreate an oasis in what was a baron location, not to destroy what’s already beautiful. The walk through the bush to Trestles is park of the journey of decompressing and getting in touch Mother Nature and Mother Ocean. Save it and leave no foot prints.
