RESOLUTION NO. 060
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA RECOMMENDING TO THE DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA A ROUTE FOR THE PROPOSED
FOOTHILL FREEWAY THROUGH THE CITY OF AZUSA.
WHEREAS, public hearings have been conducted in the City
of Azusa for the purpose of discussing the route of the proposed
Foothill Freeway through the City, and
WHEREAS, it is the conviction of the City Council that
the routes along First Street and also along Fifth Street indicated
by the Division of Highways of the State of California are detri-
mental to the best interests of the City of Azusa and surrounding
communities for the following reasons:
(a) It creates an unnatural division of the City result-
ing in the separation of a southerly strip from the remainder of
the City rendering it difficult to provide fire, police, public
utility and other municipal services to such segregated area and
separating the residents of such area from the business districts
of the City of Azusa;
(b) It cuts through existing school district boundaries
at an undesirable location making necessary expensive re -alignment
and re -planning of school district facilities;
(c) It eliminates a greater amount of used or useable
property for business or residential purposes resulting in greater
loss to the City in property taxes, sales taxes, state subventions
depending on population, utility services„ and other sources of
revenue, and
WHEREAS„ other routes considered by the Division of
Highways, particularly the most southerly suggested route, with
slight modifications as herein suggested, would alleviate or eli-
minate many of the above mentioned disadvantages of the First
Street and Fifth Street routes.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Azusa
does hereby resolve that the Division of Highways of the State of
California be requested, and it is hereby requested, to abandon
further consideration of the aforesaid routes of the Foothill
Freeway through the City of Azusa and that it re -align the said
proposed Freeway route so as to enter the City of Azusa from the
west in the vicinity of the intersection of Irwindale Avenue and
Gladstone Street and continue easterly along the southerly side
of Gladstone Street to a point in the vicinity of Cerritos Avenue
thence northeasterly and along the north side of Gladstone Street
to a point in the vicinity of the Big Dalton Wash,. then proceeding
in a northeasterly direction to connect with a route in the vicinity
of Glendora Avenue in the City of Glendora, following generally the
most southerly route submitted for consideration by the Division
of Highways but continuing easterly a greater distance as above
indicated before veering to the northeast.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk shall certify
to the adoption of this resolution and transmit a certified copy
thereof to the Department of Highways of the State of California.
