Residents Demand Access to Bolsa Chica

From the OC Register:

For decades, residents living in homes along the East Garden Grove Wintersburg Channel have enjoyed easy access to Bolsa Chica, one of the last remaining wetlands in the state.

Some even bought their homes partly because the channel provides a makeshift trail to the ecological reserve with the largest salt water marsh between Monterey Bay and the Tijuana River Estuary. Bicyclists, dog walkers, pedestrians and others regularly make the pilgrimage, escaping long commutes and city grime to find refuge among mourning doves and pickleweed.

So when residents on the south side of the levee abruptly found their long-standing access blocked by a brand-new chain-link fence earlier this month, an uproar ensued.
