A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
ASKING THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY(OCTA) TO
REMOVE THE BANNING AVENUE/19TH STREET AND GARFIELD AVENUE/GISLER
AVENUE BRIDGES FROM THE ORANGE 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 the viability, financial feasibility and construction of the
westerly extension of 19"' Street/easterly extension of Banning Avenue over the Santa Ana
River and the westerly extension of Gisler Avenue/easterly extension of Garfield Avenue over
the Santa Ana River; and
Such concern affects the Circulation Element of the General Plan of the City of
Huntington Beach as well as the Master Plan of Arterial Highways of the County of Orange;
and
The City of Huntington Beach believes that construction of the Banning Avenue/19t'
Street and Garfield Avenue/Gisler Avenue bridges over the Santa Ana River will severely and
adversely impact the adjacent residential neighborhoods; and
The City of Huntington Beach has entered into a cooperative study with the Orange
County Transportation Authority (OCTA) and the cities of Fountain Valley,Newport Beach,
and Costa Mesa to study the need for, or the deletion of,the Banning Avenue/19 h Street and
Garfield Avenue/Gisler Avenue bridges over the Santa Ana River; and
An adequate transportation circulation network can be provided through construction
of certain intersection and roadway improvements without construction of the Banning
Avenue/19t' Street and Garfield Avenue/Gisler Avenue bridges over the Santa Ana River; and
In November, 1993,the City Council passed Resolution No. 6544 requesting the
County of Orange to initiate the process to remove the Banning Avenue/I9t' Street and
Garfield Avenue/Gisler Avenue bridges from the County's Master Plan of Arterial Highways,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
1. The City of Huntington Beach supports the "no bridge" scenario.
2. The City of Huntington Beach requests the Orange County Transportation
Authority continue to pursue the deletion of the Banning Avenue/I9 h Street and Garfield
Avenue Gisler Avenue bridges over the Santa Ana River from the Orange County Master
Plan of Arterial Highways.
