Thank you for your comments regarding the California Department of Transportation's Adopt-A-Highway Program.
Caltrans has announced its decision to relocate the San Diego Minutemen
from its Adopt-A-Highway location on northbound Interstate 5 near the San
Onofre Border Checkpoint to another location along State Route 52 in San
Diego County.
In consultation with our partners at the California Highway Patrol, the Department has concluded that the Minutemen’s participation in the
Adopt-A-Highway Program at the current location poses a significant safety risk. The risk is in the potential for disruption to the operation of the
state highway as well as public safety concerns for the traveling public and volunteers in the program.
A letter has been sent to the San Diego Minutemen outlining details of the decision, and also includes notice of a review into possible actions by the
group that may violate guidelines for appropriate participation in the litter cleanup program. The Department will pursue this review in an expeditious fashion.
Under the Adopt-A-Highway eligibility criteria, entities that advocate violence, violation of law, or discrimination based on race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, physical handicap, medical condition,
marital status, age, sex or sexual orientation may not participate in the program.
Caltrans will rescind any permit for the Adopt-A-Highway Program upon confirmation that an organization does not meet eligibility criteria.
Sincerely,
Pedro Orso-Delgado
District Director
Caltrans, District 11 (San Diego and Imperial Counties)
Great news!!!
Even Cal-Trans knows/understands that the SDMM are a hate group & the people of California will not accept a highway sign with their name or likeness on it!
Guess Bikini Boy will have to resort to picking up trash elsewhere!!
So they moved to a different area, So what? The signs will still be up. Just in a different area. That is until someone from the OBL vandalizes them.
Since it is illegal to aid and abet illegal aliens, I guess the Border Angels wont be getting their stretch of highway.
Notice it was a hate group that was pushing to get the SDMM off the sign.
