A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF BAKERSFIELD REQUESTING THE CALIFORNIA
HIGHWAY COMMISSION TO WIDEN THE WILSON
ROAD OVERCROSSING AT 99 FREEWAY.
WHEREAS, the California Highway Commission has adopted
a resolution on November 26, 1957, declaring that certain section
of U. S. Route 99 in the County of Kern and in the City of
Bakersfield between 2.8 miles south of McKittrick Road and Minklet
Spur to be a freeway; and
WHEREAS, as part of this construction, a two-lane over-
crossing has been constructed at Wilson Road; and
WHEREAS, this overcrossing was so designed and constructed
to be widened whenever justified; and
WHEREAS, since completion of the structure, adjacent
areas have experienced rapid commercial and residential development
which has necessarily generated a volume of traffic; this overcrossing
can no longer accommodate the vehicular traffic.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Bakersfield City
Council, as follows:
1. That the existing structure be widened to provide
four full-width travel lanes.
2. That this construction be initiated at the earliest
possible date.
3. That the City Clerk is hereby directed to forward
two certified copies of this resolution to the Department of Public
