A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SANTA ANA OPPOSING THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION'S PROPOSED "INTERIM GUIDELINES ON COST
SHARING FOR HIGHWAY INTERCHANGES AND SEPARATIONS"
AND SUPPORT THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION'S PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE "POLICY ON COST
SHARING FOR PUBLIC ROAD CONNECTIONS AND CROSSINGS
OF FREEWAYS".
WHEREAS, the State of California has traditionally been respon-
sible for planning and implementing a comprehensive, multi -modal integrated
transportation system; and
WHEREAS, the State of California has traditionally been respon-
sible for the funding of these higher level circulation facilities such as
freeways, expressways, interchanges and separations which are of a state-
wide general benefit; and
WHEREAS, overcrossings, interchange connections and separations
are vital and functional components of an integrated transportation system; and
WHEREAS, the California Transportation Commission's proposed
"Interim Guidelines" purports to shift the financial responsibility to
local government for improvements that have traditionally been a State
responsibility; and
WHEREAS, future modifications to crossings and interchanges would
now become a local responsibility; and
WHEREAS, the State of California is able to prescribe uniform
design standards which will contribute to a consistent statewide trans-
portation system; and
WHEREAS, the Orange County Transportation Commission along with
many other local jurisdictions are opposed to the proposed policy change,
and have put together an alternative proposal which in effect supports the
continuance of the existing State policy, whereby the State pays nearly all
of the costs for new and improved interchanges and separations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA that the City Council hereby
Commission's proposed "Interim Guidelines
changes and Separations", and supports the
Commission's proposed alternative "Policy
Connections and Crossings of Freeways".
