REVIEWED BY: City Manage (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
At the meeting of May 27, 1986, Council requested that staff prepare a
resolution to CalTrans supporting the construction of State Route 54 between
I-805 and State Route 125. As the first step in this process, it is necessary
for CalTrans to expend funds to do the necessary studies for concept plans and
preparation of environmental documents.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the resolution urging CalTrans to
expend planning funds for State Route 54 and State Route 125.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
CalTrans is currently under construction for the completion of State Route 54
between 1-5 and I-805. The project should be completed during FY 1987-88.
Based on growth in the South Bay area and eastern parts of Chula Vista, it is
now time to consider completing the freeway system for State Route 54
easterly. This resolution would request CalTrans to include planning funds
for the purpose of studying the route location and preparing necessary
information from environmental documents for the construction of State Route
54 between I-805 and State Route 125 and also State 125 between State Route 54
and State Route 94. Planning funds are a first step in ultimately going
forward to a construction project.
It is also recommended that this resolution be sent to San Diego County cities
in the South Bay and the East County regions with a request for support. The
California Transportation Committee meeting is scheduled for late August 1986.
FISCAL IMPACT: None to City.
