A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, PROTESTING RECOMMENDED
DELAY OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE CORONA DEL MAR
FRONTAGE ROAD.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, construction of the Corona del Mar Freeway has the full
support of the cities of Costa Mesa, Irvine, Newport Beach, and the
County of Orange; and
WHEREAS, the cities of Orange County have committed approximately
4.5 million dollars in Federal -Aid Urban (FAU) funds towards the con-
struction of this much needed freeway; and
WHEREAS, financial constraints have forced the State to reduce the
status of the last phase of construction from that of a freeway to an
improved frontage road; and
WHEREAS, the California Department of Transportation's staff is
now recommending further delay on construction of the frontage road due
to a change in the staff's evaluation criteria for freeway projects; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has accepted and spent the 4.5
million dollars contributed by the Orange County cities; and
WHEREAS, the State of California opted to spend this 4.5 million
dollars on one particular portion of the freeway improvements rather
than allocating it to the project in total; and
WHEREAS, the cities of Orange County find that any further reduc-
tion in the progress on the Corona del Mar Frontage Road would be an
intolerable action by the State Highway Commission and CALTRANS;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa offers its support to the completion of the Corona del Mar
Frontage Road at the earliest possible date.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a delegation from Orange County present
our viewpoint to the State Highway Commission at their next scheduled
hearing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be forwarded
to the proper agencies and representatives connected with the freeway
construction.
