RESOLUTION NO. $461
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF TiiE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA URGING THE STATE TO GIVE TOP PRIORITY FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF STATE ROUTE 54 BY PASSAGE OF THE
LEGISLATION INTRODUCED BY SENATOR JAMES MILLS AND
ASSEMBLYMAN WADIE DEDDEH
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, State Route 54 connecting Interstate 5 and Inter-
state 805 was originally approved nearly fifteen years ago with the
recognition that said connection was not only essential to the
full and proper utilization of the interstate freeways, but would
also make a sensible and logical concurrent project with the flood
control channel so desperately needed for the whole Sweetwater
Valley, and
WHEREAS, the interminable delays and now deletion in
effect of this project has created and will exacerbate the traffic
problems in the South Bay and border areas, and
WHEREAS, the failure to act promptly to insure the early
completion of State Route 54 will jeopardize property and lives in
the flood plains of the Sweetwater Valley, and
WHEREAS, the State Legislature is now considering legis-
lation which would make possible the early construction of this
essential connecting road between Interstate 5 and Interstate 805, and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Planning Organization has
designated State Route 54 as one of the top three priority freeways
in the transportation plan for the San Diego region.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does strongly urge the Legislature and the
Governor to give full support of the legislative proposals authored
and sponsored by Senator James Mills and Assemblyman Wadie Deddeh.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of
Chula Vista be, and she is hereby directed to forward a certified
copy of this resolution to Senator Mills and Assemblyman Deddeh.
