RESOLUTION NO. 5683
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA
REQUESTING THE CALIFORNIA STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION TO
EXPEDITE THE WIDENING OF THE SAN BERNARDINO FREEWAY
WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA.
WHEREAS, the last segment of the San Bernardino
Freeway proposed for widening to four lanes in each direction
between the Los Angeles Civic Center and the City of San
Bernardino is the segment through the City of West Covina,
and
WHEREAS, this segment is now frequently over-
loaded and constitutes a bottleneck for through traffic.
Completion in the near future of the widening of other
segments of the freeway will further aggravate the traffic
problem, and
WHEREAS, the completion of this segment of the
freeway as quickly as possible will not only serve the citi-
zens of West Covina using the freeway, but will also facili-
tate the movement of through traffic,
NOW IT THEREFORE BE RESOLVED, by the City Council
of the City of West Covina that:
(a) The California Highway Commission is
hereby urged to provide funding for
freeway improvements on the San Ber-
nardino Freeway through the City of
West Covina in the 1971-72 Fiscal Year
rather than the 1972-73 Fiscal Year.
(b') Construction contracts for the improve-
ment be awarded as soon as possible after
the funding is provided.
The City Clerk is instructed to transmit a certified
copy of this Resolution to the California Highway Commission.
Adopted and approved this 2nd day of February ,
1970.
