REQUESTING THE DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS TO STUDY ALTERNATE
ROUTES FOR THE ROUTE 90 AND ROUTE 42 FREEWAYS
WHEREAS, the State of California Legislature, in 1959, adopted a
Master Freeway and Expressway System; and

the 1965 regular session of the Legislature and each four (4) years
thereafter, as to revisions that should be made in the System; and
WHEREAS, in the presently adopted System, the Route 42 (Century)
Freeway, extends from the Los Angeles International Airport easterly to
a junction with the Route 91 (Riverside) Freeway, in the vicinity of
Yorba Linda, and the Route 90 (Slauson) Freeway, has as its easterly
terminus the Route 605 (San Gabriel River) Freeway; and
