5

facilitate an
6
interstate highway route
from San
Diego through
San Bernardino and
7 has supported and cooperated in the completion of major portions
8 of this route, and
9 WHEREAS, the routing of this major interstate highway
10 profoundly affects the City and its people with both positive and
11 negative impacts and has been a dominant influence on the local
12 economy, life-style, and City development; and
13 WHEREAS, Interstate 15E through San Bernardino, Riverside and
14
Perris is part of
the original
interstate highway system and
15
presently provides
the only continuous
route between Las Vegas and
16
San Diego, and its
maintenance
and rehabilitation is currently
17
planned and represents
a high
priority in state funding; and
18
WHEREAS, the
1971 studies
designating I-15 to follow routes
19 1171 and 31 in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties were based on
20
funding forecasts which have
proved erroneous, so that the
21
projected route has not been
built and is
not planned for
22
completion in the foreseeable
future, and
such new construction is
23
a low funding priority of the
state; and
24
WHEREAS, the portion of
highway from
Ontario to Devore now
25
designated
I-15 serves as a
bypass

traffic on
I-10

Angeles and Las
Vegas
and does not
now connect
to a
27
south to
San
Diego; and

4 channels, roads, etc.; and
5 WHEREAS, the economic viability of the City of San Bernardino
6 and the livelihood of its residents outweighs corrections in the
7 technical detail of road signs,

9 Council of the City of San Bernardino urge that the existing
10 highway from San Diego through the City of San Bernardino remain

the interstate system of roads
to be designated as I -15E
12
or such
other interstate designation as
is appropriate.
13 AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor and the Common
14 Council urge the Department of Transportation to seek an extension
15 of time, if necessary, from the Federal Highway Administration for
16 upgrading of I -15E interchanges in order to retain the interstate
17 designation.
