A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH URGING THE ORANGE COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND OTHERS CONCERNED
WITH THE COUNTY-WIDE BICYCLE SYSTEM TO IMPLE-
MENT THE HUNTINGTON BEACH BIKEWAY PLAN, PHASE
I
WHEREAS, the City of Huntington Beach has expressed its
interest in the county-wide bicycle trail system, extending
along the Santa Ana River levee from the Pacific Ocean inland
to provide access between coastal and inland cities and a
recreational trail away from the hazard of automobiles; and
There are problems in the last mile of the levee
trail, near the mouth of the Santa Ana River, which have not
yet been resolved; and
The City of Huntington Beach has formulated the
Huntington Beach Bikeway Plan, Phase I, which provides an
alternate route, less than a mile west of the river, from
the Santa Ana River trail onto the Huntington Beach Bikeway
at Atlanta to Bushard Street which terminates in Brookhurst
Street and continues along Brookhurst Street, one-half mile
on a bike-and-hike path now being implemented by this city,
to the traffic signal at the intersection of Pacific Coast
Highway and the gate of the Huntington State Beach; and
This section of the bikeway could be developed
rapidly because little is required other than the erection
of signs ; and
Should there be problems in the use of the Flood
Control District right-of-way, the Southern California Edison
easement from the Hamilton Substation to the San Diego Freeway
would provide safe access between the beach and at least four
inland cities,
1.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach does urge the Orange County Board of Super-
visors , and all other departments concerned with this project,
to consider incorporating the Huntington Beach Bikeway Plan,
Phase I, in the county-wide bicycle trail system for immedi-
ate implementation; and
The City Clerk is directed to send a copy of this reso-
lution to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, the Orange
County Planning Commission, the Orange County Road Department,
the Orange County Flood Control District, the Orange County
Planning Department, the Southern California Edison Company,
the Huntington Beach Traffic Engineering Department, the
Huntington Beach Development Coordinator and the Huntington
Beach Environmental Council.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 6th
day of December, 1971.
