After hearing testimony and deliberating for more than 12 hours, the California Coastal Commission late Wednesday voted 8-2 to deny a proposed toll road that would cut across a habitat reserve in Orange County and San Onofre State Beach next to Camp Pendleton.
The panel decided that certain aspects of the project failed to meet California’s coastal regulations. Their vote prohibited transportation officials from creating the first tollway to run through a state park.
