RESOLUTION NO. 76-6
A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA SUPPORTING THE EXTENSION
OF ROUTE 57 SOUTH TO THE CORONA DEL MAR FREEWAY VIA
THE SANTA ANA RIVER CORRIDOR
WHEREAS, the circulation element of the General Plan of
the City of Santa Ana adopted in 1966 indicates the need for a
freeway located in the vicinity of the Santa Ana River; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Transportation of the State
of California has contracted for the construction of the final
segment of Route 57 north of the Santa Ana Freeway (Route 5)
and the Garden Grove Freeway (Route 22), said construction to
be completed at the end of 1975; and
WHEREAS, route planning studies of the Department of
Transportation of the State of California indicate that without
the southern extension of Route 57, the capacity of the arterial
street system of the City of Santa Ana will be inadequate by
1995; and
WHEREAS, said studies considered three alternative
routes for the extension of Route 57 south of the interchange
with Routes 5 and 22, said alternates consisting of corridors
identified as the Harbor Corridor, the Santa Ana River Corri-
dor and the Bristol-Main Corridor; and
WHEREAS, said studies indicate that the extension of
Route 57 south to the Corona Del Mar Freeway (Route 73) and the
San Diego Freeway (Route 405) via the Santa Ana River Corridor
would have the least impact upon the social structure, economy
and environment of the City of Santa Ana; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Transit District has adopted
a master plan providing for the utilization of the southern ex-
tension of Route 57 via the Santa Ana River Corridor as a key
element in their future transit system; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana
and the Transportation Advisory Committee of the City of Santa
Ana have both recommended support for the southern extension of
Route 57 to the Corona Del Mar Freeway via the Santa Ana River
Corridor, considering said extension to be in the best interests
of the City of Santa Ana.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Community Redevelop-
ment Agency of the City of Santa Ana:
1. That this Redevelopment Agency hereby supports the
southern extension of Route 57 to the Corona Del Mar Freeway via
the Santa Ana River Corridor and recommends that the Department of
Transportation of the State of California provide for the comple-
tion of said extension at the earliest possible date.
2. That this Redevelopment Agency urges the County of Orange,
the Orange County Transit District, and the cities of Costa Mesa,
Garden Grove, Fountain Valley and Anaheim join with the City of Santa
Ana in support of said extension.
3. That the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency
shall cause copies of this resolution to be forwarded to the Governor
of California, the State Transportation Board, the State Highway
Commission, the State Department of Transportation and to all State
Senators and Assemblymen representing Orange County.
