THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the City has received significant input from the public regarding certain
existing elements of the City's Master Plan of Highways; and
WHEREAS, this input raises concern for the viability and constmctibility of at least three
elements of the City's Master Plan of Highways, namely, the westerly extension of 19th Street
over the Santa Ana River, the westerly extension of Gisler Avenue over the Santa Ana River,
and widening of East 19th Street from Newport Boulevard to Irvine Avenue; and
WHEREAS, this concern also affects the County Master Plan of Arterial Highways; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa entered into a cooperative study with the County
of Orange and the cities of Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach to study the
need for, or the deletion of the 19th Street/Banning and Gisler Avenue/Garfield bridges over the
Santa Ana River, and also the downgrade of East 19th Street between Newport Boulevard and
Irvine Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa believes that an adequate transportation circulation
network can be provided through construction of certain intersection and roadway improvements
without construction of 19th Street/Banning and Gisler Avenue/Garfield bridges over the Santa
Ana River, and widening of East 19th Street between Newport Boulevard and Irvine Avenue;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa believes that construction of the 19th Street/Banning
and Gisler Avenue/Garfield bridges over the Santa Ana River, and widening of East 19th Street
between Newport Boulevard and Irvine Avenue will severely and adversely impact the adjacent
residential neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa desires to enter into a cooperative agreement with
the cities of Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, the County of Orange, and
CALTRANS to assess the needed intersection and roadway improvements and assign mitigation
cost responsibilities to all involved jurisdictions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Costa Mesa supports only the
"no bridge" scenario and the deletion of East 19th Street between Newport Boulevard and Irvine
Avenue from the County Master Plan of Arterial Highways, and desires to enter into a
cooperative agreement with the cities of Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley,
the County of Orange, and CALTRANS to construct the necessary intersection and roadway
mitigations.
