Hundreds Rally for Park at El Toro Site
From Times Staff Reports
Hundreds of people turned out Sunday in Laguna Niguel to rally behind a March ballot initiative that aims to create a massive urban park instead of an international airport at the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station.
“We are opposed to the airport. We want something better--something that reflects the will of the people,” said Irvine Mayor Larry Agran during an afternoon speech to anti-airport forces at Crown Valley Community Park.
About 200 to 300 Orange County residents participated in the event.
