A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH SUPPORTING THE
POSITION OF THE CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
WITH RESPECT TO A NEW COASTAL FREEWAY
ROUTE KNOWN AS THE NEWPORT BEACH ISLAND
CORRIDOR.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach has consistently expressed its opposition to the
coastal freeway route adopted by the California Highway Com-
mission on May 22nd, 1963; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has attempted to work with
all interested public agencies in order to develop an accept-
able compromise route; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has learned that a possibili-
ty exists that the California Highway Commission may restudy
the issue of the location of the coastal freeway route; and
WHEREAS, Assemblyman Robert E. Badham has provided
leadership in attempting to develop a compromise route; and
VFHEREAS, as a result of the effort to develop a com-
promise route, an altern4te freeway corridor has evolved
which would change the freeway route to a location entirely
within the City of Newport Beach and unincorporated territory;
and
WHEREAS, said freeway corridor has been referred to as
the Newport Beach Inland Corridor; and
WHEREAS, after careful consideration of the proposed
Newport Beach Inland Corridor, it is the opinion of the City
1.
Res. No.2207
Council that said proposal would provide a workable alterna-
tive to the adopted coastal freeway route and would better
serve the interests of the general public; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach strongly urges a restudy of the freeway location on
the basis of the tremendous increase in the cost of the land
and also on the State Engineering Department's estimates that
the users would benefit by $1,350,000 annually and that the
freeway could be constructed for $8,000,000 less.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach that the City would accept the
Newport Beach Inland Corridor as a more favorable route
than the adopted coastal freeway alignment, subject to favor-
able engineering studies and refinement.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach, California, this 6th day of July, 1965.
