Yorks" through its Distriot Engineers, has submitted tentative plans
for an East~est Freeway which would run "diagonally across the con-
centrated residential areas of the Alta Vista Tract and Bernard Addition
in the City of Bakersfield, and
VBKREAS, numerous property owners in the area affeoted by the
proposed location. of th.eEast-1fest Freeway have voiced their opposition
to said proposed location to the Oouncil of the Oity of Bakersfield,
and
~I this Council haa expressed its dissatisfaoti~n to any
plan. which would bisect. the Oi ty of aakersfield 1n a diagonal manner,
to the Distriot Ex1gineer, District VI of the Division of Highways of
the State of Oalifornia, and
VBKREAS, this Council believes that the proposed plan for the
East-Yest Preeway as presented by the state is extremely detrimental
to and inconsistent with good municipal planning, and would create
a financial and zoning problem of suoh magnitude as to overshadow
the benefits of an East-Vest Preeway, especially along the route as /
proposed by the state, and
This Council is firm in its belief that a route for an E~lSt..."
I

the unnecessary closing of established publio thoroughfares, and in

faot could be routed along or parallel tc streets already in ~x1stence"

of Highway~, St~t.e Department of Public Work,s, 1 ts polioy regarding
