A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA,
CALIFORNIA, MAKING REQUEST TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE
FOR NAME CHANGE OF THE NEWPORT FREEWAY, ROUTE 55, ORANGE COUNTY.
WHEREAS, California Highway Route 55, ultimately planned for
construction between the Riverside Freeway and the proposed Pacific Coast
Freeway, has been known and identified for many years as the Newport Freeway;
and it was planned to connect with the Pacific Coast Freeway within the
City of Newport Beach; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of the City of Newport Beach have voted at the
polls overwhelmingly to keep the Pacific Coast Freeway entirely out of their
city boundaries, thereby terminating Route 55 Freeway in the City of
Costa Mesa; and
WHEREAS, since Route 55 Freeway leads into and ends in the City of
Costa Mesa, this Council deems it to be in the best interest of the
motoring public and of particular concern to the citizens of Costa Mesa,
that Route 55 Freeway between the Riverside Freeway and its southerly
terminus, be known as the "Costa Mesa Freeway."
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa that this Council hereby requests the California State Legis-
lature to change the freeway name of Highway 55 between the Riverside
Freeway and its southerly terminus in the County of Orange, from Newport
Freeway to "Costa Mesa Freeway."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Council hereby instructs the City
Clerk to forward a copy of this resolution to the California State
Legislature.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 16th day of October, 1972.
