Report on A report on the decision of the California State Highway >>~~=,°

~
.Century ''
``~
Commission to deny the City's request for a rehearing ~
Freeway on the Century Freeway location was presented by the
City Manager. The report contained information concerning
the many problems which will ultimately arise as the
result of the Fernwood location, particularly with
respect to the specific design and final alignment.
It was the Manager's view that the Council should make
a determination as to whether or not action should be
taken concerning purchase of the Southern Pacific tracks,
the removal of which would reduce the width of the land
taken for the freeway and permit consideration of a
depressed rather than an elevated structure. The
Manager also suggested considering the value of hiring
professional planners to utilize the data available
from the Economic Research Associates' reports and
from the State studies to provide ideas as to '"~"
redevelopment of the industrial and commercial areas
disbnupted by the freeway construction. Mr. Erickson
presented for the Council's consideration a map
showing possible location of the on-and off-ramps,
but emphasized that the drawing was extremely
tentative in nature. After discussion of the merits
of a depressed freeway as opposed to an elevated freeway
and the desirability of prompt action, it was moved by
Councilman Green, seconded by Councilman Byork, and
carried, that the State Highway Department be informed
that the Council is very desirous of having the Southern
Pacific tracks removed in the freeway alignment and that
there be particular consideration given to a depressed
freeway through the City of Lynwood.
The City Manager was requested to arrange with Economic
Research Associates for discussions concerning future
planning in relation to the freeway location.
The Mayor declared the meeting adjourned to executive
session for the purpose of a personnel discussion.
Following the executive session, the meeting was called
to order.
