San Clemente Moves Toward Leaving the Toll Roads
San Clemente is preparing to withdraw from the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) in the midst of an ongoing three year-lawsuit over disagreements about a toll road built in the city.
City council took its first step April 6, voting 4-1 to leave the joint powers authority (JPA) that forms the TCA. The split could come as a result a perceived lack of representation on the board, and disagreements about building a toll road in San Clemente.
“It’s time for someone to say that this is over,” Mayor Kathleen Ward said during the meeting.
The Foothill-Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency in California has slated a tender offering exchange for Jan. 21 ahead of a Jan. 25 advance refunding.
