WHEREAS, the City of Downey and the City of Norwalk are both experiencing
severe traffic congestion during the peak traffic periods at the Imperial

petition the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to conduct an investigation
or study to determine the feasibility of widening Imperial Highway bridge cross-
ing at the San Gabriel River and to provide County assistance in effecting such
