RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
REQUESTING THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
TO REPEAL HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 47 RELATIVE TO FREEWAYS
WHEREAS, the State of California Legislature, in 1959, adopted a Master
Freeway and Expressway system; and
WHEREAS, under the provision of Section 256 of the Streets and Highways
Code the 1965 Session of the Legislature did after judicious study revise the
Freeway and Expressway system by the additions to Route 90 (Slauson Freeway)
and deletion of portions of Route 42 (Century Freeway); and
WHEREAS, the 1966 Session of the Assembly of the California Legislature
did adopt House Resolution No. 47 asking the Division of Highways and the
Department of Public Works to desist from taking any further action with respect
to Route 90; and
WHEREAS, said resolution does not reflect the feelings or desires of the
majority of the people in this area; and
WHEREAS, a delay of one year in the planning and construction of Route 90
is unreasonable, since an immediate need exists for this facility; and
WHEREAS, this city will oppose any efforts by the members of the Assembly
to delete Route 90 from the Freeway and Expressway system;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the Assembly of the California Legislature is requested
to repeal House Resolution No. 47 relative to Freeways, thereby permitting the
State Division of Highways to continue planning for Route 90 (Slauson Freeway).
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution
and transmit certified copies thereof to the Division of Highways, the State
Highway Commission, and our representative in the State Legislature.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 26th day of April, 1966.
