The City Council of the City_ of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as .follo~~~s
hTHER.I?A.S, the City Council of the City of Chula Vista has,
for several years, urged that the tracks of the San Dieac and Arizona
Eastern Railroad, presently located east o.f. the Interstate 5 Free~ti~av
be relocated prior. to the improvement o.f. that portion o.f_ the fr_ee~~~av
adjacent to the City of Chula Vista to the ~~aesterly side of the soon-
to-be-improved freeway, anal
G~7HEREAS, the pressi_nq reed for such relocation to afford
both better land use and free and unobstructed access to th.e City of
Chula Vista has been and is deemed to be of great benefit to the
entire community, and
~~IHEREAS, the Streets and Highways Committee of the Chamber
of Commerce of the Citv of Chula. Vista h.as once again renewed this
effort by an appeal to the City Council of th.e Citv of Chu]_a Vista.,
and -
T~THER.EAS, it is even mere pressing at the present time that
such a relocation be i.n.stituted, o.r that the ~aresently exist.inq ctrade
of the tracks be elevated or depressed in order to insure that the
increased rail traffic will not present a tremendous burden u_Don access
to the City of Chula Vista, and
WHEREAS, i. t, is obvious that. the tremendous out~?ut of funds
contemplated ir. the development of several free~.aay interchanges on
Interstate 5 will he wasted and rendered. virtually useless if traffic
passing th.rougr said interchanges will be blocked by the increased
rail traffic on the present track system of the San Diego and Arizona.
