WHEREAS, a critical traffic congestion problem exists on Azusa Avenue, Route 210,
at Paramount Street in the City of Azusa; and

WHEREAS, the opening of the foothill Freeway at its junction with Azusa Avenue
will add to this congestion, and

Avenue at Paramount Street would create breaks in the traffic to permit safer ingress and
egress and reduce traffic accidents;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Azusa does hereby resolve that
the Department of Public Works, Division of Highways, of the State of California be respect-
fully and urgently requested to conduct a traffic count survey and investigation of traffic
conditions along Azusa Avenue between the Foothill Freeway and Paramount Street and parti-
cularly at the intersection of Paramount Street with Azusa Avenue, and to cooperate with the
City of Azusa in the installation and maintenance of a traffic signal at Azusa Avenue and
Paramount Street.
