A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
COVERING THE PLAN OF FREEWAYS AND EXPRESSWAYS FOR LOS
ANGELES COUNTY. (Covering study for Los Angeles County
Under Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 26)
WHEREAS, The California Legislature on January 25, 1957, adopted
SCR #26 which requested the State Department of Public Works to under-
take a study which will provide basis for an over -all state -wide plan
of freeways and expressways for the State of California; and
WHEREAS, such study was not limited to state highways, but located
potential freeway and expressway routes and the necessary connections
thereto as nearly as practicable in advance of detailed engineering
design of projects; and
WHEREAS, agencies of state government and cities and counties were
requested to cooperate with the State Department of Public Works in the
conduct of said study; and
WHEREAS, the METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING BOARD, a vol-
untary organization of managers, administrators, engineers and planners
of the 61 cities in Los Angeles County and road commissioners of Los
Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties, has
undertaken the task of developing a plan of freeways and expressways
for Los Angeles County including connecting routes in Los Angeles County
and Into adjacent counties; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Transportation Engineering Board after
years of intensive work has completed the study and has adopted a plan
of freeways and expressways for Los Angeles County for submission to the
State Department of Public Works pursuant to SCR #26; and
WHEREAS, this plan does not purport to establish or determine exact
final locations of said freeways and expressways except where such lo-
cations have already been established under existing procedures; and
WHEREAS, it is understood that such final locations of each indi-
vidual unit will be determined at the time such unit is authorized for
acquisition and construction under existing state laws and policies
governing the location of freeways and expressive, which will assure
each governmental agency a full and complete opportunity to partici-
pate in the determination of such locations as affect such agency; and
WHEREAS, this plan when accomplished will provide adequate trans-
portation for Los Angeles County for many years, and when consolidated
with plans from all the various sections of the State to become a state-
wide plan will lay the foundation, as nearly as such can now be determined
by basic engineering studies without regard to present jurisdiction over
the highways, roads, and streets, for the ultimate freeway and expressway
system covering the entire state; and
WHEREAS, such information will be very helpful to public agencies,
agriculture and industry, local communities and the people of California
generally; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable, and essential, that the Board of Super-
visors, City Councils, Planning Commission, other official agencies and I,
civic organizations review the plan of freeways and expressways for Los
Angeles County as developed by the Metropolitan Transportation Engineering
Board and recommend its adoption by the State Department of Public Works,
and approval by the California Legislature at the 1959 Session,
