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.

A San Clemente city councilwoman sparked some controversy when she refused to wear a mask during a meeting.
Councilwoman Laura Ferguson was the only council member not wearing a mask during San Clemente’s Feb. 16 meeting, which was the first time the council had met in person for months.
The in-person part of the meeting didn’t last long. The council was sent home to reconvene the meeting on Zoom after Mayor Kathy Ward called Ferguson out for not wearing a mask.
