That this Redevelopment Agency hereby supports the <br />southern extension of Route 57 to the Corona Del Mar Freeway via <br />the Santa Ana River Corridor and recommends that the Department of <br />Transportation of the State of California provide for the comple- <br />tion of said extension at the earliest possible date. <br /> <br />2. That this Redevelopment Agency urges the County of Orange, <br />the Orange County Transit District, and the cities of Costa Mesa, <br />Garden Grove, Fountain Valley and Anaheim join with the City of Santa <br />Ana in support of said extension. <br /> <br />3. That the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency <br />shall cause copies of this resolution to be forwarded to the Governor <br />of California, the State Transportation Board, the State Highway <br />Commission, the State Department of Transportation and to all State <br />Senators and Assemblymen representing Orange County. <br /> <br />~ <br />
