A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUESTING THE COUNTY
OF ORANGE TO INITIATE THE PROCESS TO REMOVE
THE 19TH/BANNING AVENUE AND GISLER AVENUE/
GARFIELD AVENUE BRIDGES ON THE COUNTY
MASTER PLAN OF ARTERIAL HIGHWAYS (MPAH)
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach has received significant
input from the public regarding certain existing elements of the County's Master Plan of Arterial
Highways; and
Concern has been raised over the question of the viability, financial feasibility and
constructibility of two elements of the County's Master Plan of Highways, namely, the westerly
extension of 19th Street, easterly extension of Banning Avenue over the Santa Ana River, and
westerly extension of Gisler Avenue, easterly extension of Garfield Avenue over the Santa Ana
River; and
Such concern also affects the City's Master Plan of Arterial Highways; and
The City of Huntington Beach entered into a cooperative study with the County of
Orange and the cities of Fountain Valley, Newport Beach, and Costa Mesa to study the need
for, or the deletion of the 19th Street/ Banning Avenue and Gisler Avenue/Garfield Avenue
bridges over the Santa Ana River; and
The City of Huntington Beach believes that an adequate transportation circulation
network can be provided through construction of certain intersection and roadway
improvements without construction of 19th Street/Banning Avenue and Gisler Avenue/Garfield
Avenue bridges over the Santa Ana River; and
The City of Huntington Beach believes that construction of the 19th Street/Banning
Avenue and Gisler Avenue/Garfield Avenue bridges over the Santa Ana River will severely and
adversely impact the adjacent residential neighborhoods; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach as follows:
1. The City of Huntington Beach supports the "no bridge" scenario.
2. The City of Huntington Beach requests the County of Orange to initiate a
process to delete the 19th Street/Banning Avenue and Gisler Avenue/Garfield Avenue bridges
over the Santa Ana River from the County's Master Plan of Arterial Highways (MPAH).
