RESOLUTION NO . 6838
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA URGING THE ENACTMENT OF SB 502, "THE FEDERAL-
AID HIGHWAY ACT OF 1973", PERTAINING TO URBAN PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, it is universally recognized that air pollution
caused by automotive exhaust has long since passed the critical stage
as a clear and present danger to the public health of millions of
citizens throughout the United States and that the problem is ex-
tremely acute in the State of California, and
WHEREAS, it is also a known fact that thousands of lives
are lost each year because of automobile accidents on our freeways
and highways, especially in California, and
WHEREAS, it appears logical that one way to curb the air
pollution caused from automobiles, decrease the taking of lives of
our residents in this State, and cease the general congestion on
the freeways, is to have a mass rapid transportation system that
would ensure that people could commute back and forth in comfort
and safety without using their automobiles, and
WHEREAS, a mass rapid transportation system is gradually
becoming a must in our nation in order to relieve congestion and
save lives on highways and freeways, and cause a substantial decrease
in air pollution caused by automotive exhaust.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby urge the enactment of SB 502, entitled
"The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973", and that the State be urged
to use urban highway funds for rail or bus mass transportation, as
well as for highway construction.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk of the City of
Chula Vista be, and she is hereby authorized and directed to forward
a certified copy of this resolution to all members of the San Diego
County Legislative Delegation.
