All of Talbert Avenue within the City limits of Santa kna, and within all of Orange County, if possible, should be changed back to Mackrthur Boulevard.

To accomplish this purpose, at least 3 signs are needed: (a) A sign indicating Main Street on the Newport Freeway at the Baker Street off-ramp; (b) A sign at the intersection of Baker and Red Hill indicating the direction of Main Street; and (c) A sign at the intersection of Red Hill and Main Street indicating the direction of Main Street, Santa Aha. 3. A sign reading "Main Street, Santa Ana, Next Right" should be placed on the Newport Freeway just north of the Paularino Avenue off-ramp and south of the San Diego overpass. 4. The sign indicating "Santa Ana, Next 6 Exits" should be placed at a point from south of the MacArthur off-ramp to a point immediately north of the San Diego Freeway heading east. 5. The sign on the Newport Freeway designating the Dyer Road off- ramp should also indicate access for Grand Avenue since these are important entrances into the southern section of Santa Ana'a industrial area. 6. In addition to the present signs for the 4th Street off-ramp, there should be a sign on the Newport Freeway indicating "County Civic Center-Santa Ana" at 4th Street; a directional sign
