RESOLUTION NO. 68-56
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA
URGING THE STATE DMSION OF HIGHWAYS TO EXPEDITE THE RIGHT-
OF-WAY ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF BEAR STREET FROM
PAULARINO AVENUE TO BAKER STREET AND TERMINATE PAULARINO
AVENUE TO RELIEVE EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS
IN THE AREA.
WHEREAS, the right-of-way acquisition and construction of Bear Street
from Paularino Avenue to Baker Street is included in the projected construction
of the Corona del Mar Freeway, Ora-184-CMs, by the State Division of Highways;
and
WHEREAS, the existing residential traffic pattern, street design, and
anticipated volumes, were established on the basis of construction of the
Corona del Mar Freeway by this date, and traffic volumes already have exceeded
the design of existing Paularino Avenue; and
WHEREAS, expedition of Bear Street construction was not previously asked
because of a possibility that opening of the San Diego Freeway might decrease
residential traffic volume on Paularino, but no appreciable decrease has
developed since the opening of the San Diego Freeway; and
WHEREAS, due to development in the area, it has become necessary for
right-of-way and street locations to be established so that property owners
may proceed with the improvement of remaining land; and
WHEREAS, the problem of excessive traffic volume on residential Paularino
Avenue can be resolved by the termination of Paularino Avenue at the Corona Del
Mar Freeway, as proposed in the design, but this cannot be done until the Bear
Street extension is constructed to provide traffic access to the area; and
WHEREAS, the City is receiving numerous complaints regarding the excessive
traffic volume on residential Paularino Avenue and an urgent need exists to
relieve the situation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Costa
Mesa that the State Division of Highways, District VII, is hereby urged and
requested to expedite acquisition of right-of-way and construction of Bear
Street between Paularino Avenue and Baker Street in the City of Costa Mesa to
relieve the immediate and urgent problems created by excessive traffic volume
in the residential areas.
