A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD IN SUPPORT OF
THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY DESIGNATION ACT OF 1994.
WHEREAS, the transportation system is vital to the economic growth and
global competitiveness of the nation and California; and
and
WHEREAS, the highway network is the backbone of the transportation system;
WHEREAS, it is critical that California plan, develop and implement
appropriate transportation investments; and
WHEREAS, the uncertainty associated with the future of the National
Highway System (NHS) along with the failure of recent transportation related bond
measures and the State's decision to use available funds for seismic retrofit precludes the
possibility of undertaking this planning, development and implementation; and
WHEREAS, the timely adoption of the National Highway Designation Act of
1994 would, in great part, help alleviate this uncertainty; and
WHEREAS, the National Highway Designation Act of 1994 would provide a
total of $546 million for California transportation projects; and
WHEREAS, the Act would provide $9 million in federal funds to our local
community and the surrounding region.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Bakersfield as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and correct.
2. The City Council of the City of Bakersfield, California, supports The
National Highway Designation Act of 1994 and urges the United States Senate to approve
this Act during this session of Congress.
