RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA
ESTABLISHING POLICY IN RELATION TO THE VACATION OF THE "K"
STREET RAILROAD CROSSING
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the Public Utilities Commission has heretofore
held a public hearing in the City of Chula Vista to determine the
necessity of installing automatic crossing protective devices at
the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railroad crossing at "K" Street,
and
WHEREAS , the hearing officer agreed to withhold the sub-
mission of the report requiring the installation of said protective
devices to permit the City to determine whether or not this portion
of "K" Street would be vacated, and
WHEREAS, the City has entered into a freeway agreement as
authorized by Resolution No. 3816 approved November 19 , 1965 , which
agreement would provide for the construction of Freeway Route No. 5,
which would necessitate the vacation of "K" Street and eliminate the
subject crossing, and
WHEREAS , it is contemplated that the freeway construction
will be accompliahed not later than 1972 , and that the railroad crossing
at "K" Street would be closed at least two years before said date.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista that said Council does hereby announce its intention
to proceed with the vacation of said "K" Street railroad crossing not
later than 1970 .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Chula Vista does hereby urge the Public Utilities Commission to reject
the requirement for installing automatic protective crossing devices
at said crossing, since said devices would only be used for a brief
period of time not to exceed three years and would not, therefore, be
economically feasible.
