MISSION VIEJO
The City Council agreed this week to pay the Nature Reserve of Orange County $30,800 for the removal of costal sage scrub along El Toro Road. The completion of designs to widen El Toro Road requires the removal of 26,850 feet of scrub, considered an endangered habitat by the Nature Reserve. The Mission Viejo Co. is equally responsible for the ultimate widening of El Toro Road and has paid the city $15,400.
