A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BALDWIN PARK OPPOSING AB 1930 AND
SB 1497 PERTAINING TO 710 FREEWAY
COMPLETION
WHEREAS, legislation is presently before the Senate Transportation Committee and
the Assembly Transportation Committee which, if enacted, would repeal Section 100.45 and
amend Section 100.4 of the Streets and Highways Code. thereby effectively giving one city the
ability to veto completion of the 710 Freeway, a project which is regional in significance and
vital to Southern California's transportation system; and,
WHEREAS, such legislation would give the City of South Pasadena, with less than
30,000 residents, veto power over 5 million people, thereby erasing over 30 years of regional
collaboration, study and compromise to meet the current and future needs of our region; and,
WHEREAS, such legislation ignores numerous environmental reports showing that
completion of the 710 Freeway Project will reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and
decease noise pollution; and,
WHEREAS, such legislation effectively would stop a project that will save
governments, businesses and individuals $5.3 billion in the first 20 years of use, infuse nearly
$700 million into the local economy, and create 26,000 to 29,000 jobs for Southern California;
NOW, THEREFORE. BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Baldwin
Park that this Council hereby strongly opposes Senate Bill 1497 and Assembly Bill 1930 for
those reasons set forth herein above and hereby directs the City Clerk to send copies of this
Resolution to Governor Davis, State Senator Schiff, Assembly Member Scott, the Chairs of the
Senate and Assembly Transportation Committees, and the League of California Cities.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED on April 5, 2000.
