RESOLUTION NO. 9196
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUrdCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA SUPPORTING THE METROPOLITArd TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT
BOARD'S PROPOSED GUIDEWAY SYSTEM
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby
resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Transit Development Board has
heretofore presented a proposal for a light rail transit system
running from the Mexican border to downtown San Diego, and
WHEREAS, after careful and critical analysis, the staff
has recommended that the Chula Vista City Council endorse such a
system, and
WHEREAS, the Chula Vista City Council recognizes that the
basic mode of public transportation in the San Diego area will con-
tinue to be the existing bus system, and
WHEREAS, the City Council further intends and believes
that the integration into the public transportation system in the
San Diego region of a light rail transit system is clearly essen-
tial to provide a viable transportation system and would be far
cheaper than any system currently operating in the United States,
and
WHEREAS, the failure to grasp the current opportunity to
utilize the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Rail System would, in the
opinion of the City Council, be a mistake of such proportion that it
would seriously and perhaps permanently impair the ability of the
citizens in this region to achieve a first-rate public transporta-
tion system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby urge the Detropolitan Transit
Development Board to move forward in the development of a new finan-
cial report to obtain the reconsideration of the City Council of
the City of San Diego and to take all steps necessary to win over
those who thus far have failed to understand the enormous favorable
impact of the proposed light rail transit system.
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 the Metropolitan Transit
Development Board and to the City Council of the City of San Diego.
