He noted the successful partnership of AYSO and <br />the District, AYSO's good custodianship of the site, consistent support of the District, <br />approval of the Master Plan three years ago, and the extensive use of the site. He said <br />Mr. Ravi Ghate of the CalTrans/Department of Transportation indicated that freeway <br />23 is to be widened along the median strip and thus will not impact the site, and he <br />asked that AYSO be treated like a partner. <br />Sorensen said that staff considers AYSO a partner, and model community organization. <br />He said that at a recent meeting, District staff was informed that Cal Trans is widening <br />the freeway on the east side, thus necessitating onsite tree removal and a change in the <br />plans relative to the parking lot. He said that a letter has been sent to Cal Trans <br />requesting a copy of the plans, to clarify the issue. <br />
