ITEM EXPLANATION:
A. BACKGROUND
1. At the meeting of April 18, 1972 the City Council expressed opposition to Route 125
as being premature and too ecologically damaging. Subsequently, Council adopted Resolution
No. 6409 supporting the deletion of Route 125, south of 54 interchange to the junction of
State Highway 75.
2. On June 17, 1976 the California Highway Commission acted to rescind Route 125 as
an adopted freeway route between Route 54 and Route 75. This action removes the commitment
of the Sate of California for right-of-way acquisition and freeway construction.
B. ANALYSIS
The action of the State Highway Commission in June of this year to rescind the status of
the San Miguel Freeway as an adopted freeway route within the statewide system in no way
alters the need for future access to this portion of the Planning Area. In order to pre-
serve the integrity of the circulation element of the comprehensive plan and to provide
fora north-south link with other streets planned for extension to the east, this corridor
should be redesignated as a "major road."
