CC RESOLUTION 2079I () 1 23
RESOLUTION NO. 2079
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF EL SEGUNDO. CALIFORNIA, PROTEST-
ING AND OPPOSING THE ADOPTION OF THE
"SOUTHERLY ROUTE" FOR THE PROPOSED
CENTURY FREEWAY AND RECOMMENDING THE
ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSED ROUTE ALONG OR
NEAR CENTURY BOULEVARD FOR SAID FREEWAY.
WHEREAS, the proposed Century Freeway is designed, among
other reasons, to relieve the highly congested area along the north side of
Los Angeles International Airport and on Sepulveda Boulevard particularly
in the vicinity of Los Angeles International Airport; and
WHEREAS, alternate routes have been proposed for the loca-
tion of said Century Freeway referred to generally as the "southerly route',
and the "northerly route" or "Century Boulevard route "; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the so- called "southerly router for
the location of said Century Freeway will necessitate the continued use of
Sepulveda Boulevard as a "feeder" for traffic from the congested area
north of Los Angeles International Airport and from the Airport itself to
said Freeway, thereby increasing the already congested traffic condition
of both northbound and south -bound traffic to a degree that would create
a traffic bottleneck of serious if not insurmountable proportions; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the so- called "southerly router for
the location of said Century Freeway would necessitate the relocation of
• large number of families located outside the area now considered to be
• "noise nuisance" area resulting from the heavy aircraft traffic utilizing
the airspace above the area north of said "southerly route ", a situation
which would not result from the adoption of the so-called "Century Boule-
vard route" because of the fact that all families requiring relocation by
the adoption of said "Century Boulevard route" are already living within
and affected by the noise nuisance area; and
WHEREAS, the City of El Segundo is proceeding rapidly with
the development of the most desirable type of high -rise buildings along
Imperial Highway and on Sepulveda Boulevard, which development is self-
_J"
evident; the construction of the so- called Century Freeway along Imperial
Highway would be disruptive to this development; would serve no particularly
useful purpose to the City of El Segundo; and would interfere with the move-
ment of emergency vehicles along Imperial Highway; and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the City Council of the City of
E1 Segundo at this time that it would decline to enter into a freeway agree-
ment with the Division of Highways; and
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles Airport Commission has also recom-
mended the adoption of the so- called "Century Boulevard route's for the loca-
tion of said Century Freeway;
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Coun-
cil of the City of E1 Segundo, California, as follows:
1. That it hereby protests and opposes the adoption of the so-
called "southerly route" for the proposed Century Freeway; and
2. That it hereby recommends the adoption of the so- called
"Century Boulevard route" for the proposed Century Freeway;
3. That copies of this Resolution be sent to the State Highway
Department, the Intercity Highway Committee and any other department or
organization interested in and concerned with the location of the route for the
proposed Century Freeway.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 9th day of March,
