RESOLUTION NO. 5292
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA URGING THE STATE DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS TO
ACQUIRE NECESSARY RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A FULL INTERCHANGE FOR GRAND AVENUE AT THE SAN
BERNARDINO FREEWAY.
WHEREAS, all studies of projected economic, social, educational
and recreational growth for the East San Gabriel Valley indicate that
Grand Avenue, because of its geographic position, will become a major
transportation artery for this region; and
WHEREAS, Grand Avenue is presently being improved by the
County of Los Angeles and other local jurisdictions as a Federal Aid
to Secondary Highways project; and
WHEREAS, when completed Grand Avenue, which will have a
capacity of 32,000 vehicles a day and will extend from Foothill Boule-
vard in the City of Glendora to Diamond Bar Boulevard in the Pomona
area, will be of area -wide importance to all jurisdictions in the East
San Gabriel Valley; and
WHEREAS, these factors clearly indicate that a full inter-
change of Grand Avenue with the San Bernardino Freeway is of critical
necessity to permit access to the many communities, jurisdictions and
institutions to be served by this major thoroughfare; and
WHEREAS, because of the importance of this interchange to so
many communities, jurisdictions and institutions in the East San Gabriel
Valley it is believe that the cost of such an improvement should not be
borne entirely by one jurisdiction;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Azusa hereby
urges the State Division of Highways to concur in the necessity for the
development of the Grand Avenue Interchange on behalf of all those
communities, jurisdictions and institutions which will ultimately benefit
from this improvement and, therefore, to assume the financial responsi-
bility on their behalf by acquiring necessary right of way and con-
struction of the interchange.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk shall certify to
the adoption of this resolution and shall transmit a certified copy
thereof to the State Division of Highways.
Approved and adopted this 21st day of August , 1967.
