A Resolution of the City Council of the City
of Downey designating a preferred route for
the Route 90 (Slauson) Freeway.
WHEREAS, the Citizens Committee appointed by the City Council has been
reviewing various routes under study by the California Division of Highways
for the Route 90 (Slauson) Freeway, and,
WHEREAS, presently the route studies are being concentrated on three
basic routes designated as: The Northern Route, The Central Route, and The
Southern Route, and,
WHEREAS, considerable analysis has been given by the Staff of the City
of Downey and the Citizens Committee on the impact of the various routes and
the transportation service afforded by these routes,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. It is the consensus of the Staff, the Citizens Committee, and the
City Council that the Central Route approximately along Gage
Avenue and Randolph Street is the most preferable since it is the
most direct route, and it appears that it would have the greatest
amount of benefit in serving the transportation needs of the area,
and it is therefore the route recommended by the City of Downey, and,
2. The Northern Route is the second preference of the City of Downey, and,
3. The Southern Route along Florence Avenue and through the northwesterly
area of the City of Downey appears to be the least desirable and
would therefore be opposed by the City of Downey, and,
4. The City of Downey will continue study and analysis of the routes
for the freeway based on any additional information which may be
developed, and,
S. The City Clerk is directed to attest to this Resolution and forward
same to the Public Works Department for transmission to the Division
of Highways.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 14th day of June, 1971.
