A RESOLUTION OF T•HE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH OPPOSING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
A BIKE CENTENNIAL ROUTE ALONG PORTIONS OF PACIFIC
COAST HIGHWAY

Beach since the establishment of clearly signed and striped
bike routes , and the establishment of a bicycle safety program;

fifty (50) miles per hour, and the average daily traffic within
thelcity limits is twenty-two thousand (22 ,000) vehicles per
day; and

Avenue to the Santa Ana River, have insufficient width to ensure
safe movement of cyclists in conjunction with motor vehicles ; and

route would help preserve the health welfare and safety of the
citizens of this city,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach, in order to preserve the health, wel-
fare and safety of the residents of this city, that it opposes
