Governor Unveils Plans for $2.5 Billion in
By RALPH FRAMMOLINO
rimes STAFF WRITER
S ACRAMkNTO —Nudging the
state a step closer to an era of
toll roads, Gov George Deukmejian
on Friday unveiled plans to allow
entrepreneurs to build $2.5 billion
worth of private expressways in
Orange and San Diego counties and
the fast - growing suburban coun-
ties east of Oakland.
The four projects announced by
the governor were selected after
an unprecedented competition,
with the winners allowed to plan,
finance, construct and operate
their own transportation projects
before eventually turning them
over to the state. Among the losers
were two Los Angeles proposals,
including plans for a high -speed
train from Los Angeles Imerna-
uonal Airport to Palmdale.
Deukmejian hailed the winners
as part of a "historic public- private
partnership" that, would give com-
uudcre an alternative to overbur-
dened state anctfederal freeways.
Polls on the new roads are expect-
ed to range from 10 to 20 cents a
mile.
"While privatizing roads is not
something totally new m the. coun-
try, California's approach, I be-
lieve, is unique," Deukmejian said,
trving to make a distinction from
Last Coast toll roads. "Rather than
dictating which projects should be
bid upon, we allowed the private
sector the flexibility to go out and
determine the projects that would
best serve the public."
The winning projects given ap-
proval Friday were:
• An 11.2 -mile, $700 - million ele-
vated expressway to run through
the middle of the Santa Ana River
flood plain in Orange County The
four- lane 'tollwav would be com-
pleted by 1997 and would link
Interstate 5 near Anaheim Stadium
with Interstate 405 near the John
Wayne - Orange County Airport.
•A 10 -mile, $88.3 - million toll
road along California 91 from Ana-
heim to the San Bernardmo County
line. Completion date is 1994.
•A 10 -mile, $400 - million toll
road to be completed in 1995 from
the Mexican border to California 54
through vacant land In southern
San Diego County
•In Northern California, a $1.2-
billion, 40 -mile toll road stretching
north from Sunol in Alameda
County to Antioch, on the edge of
Contra Costa County The toll road
would be the first phase of a
proposed 85 -mile arc through a
fast - growing suburban corridor
that stretches from Oakland to
Sacramento Completion is planned
for 1997
Passed over was a proposal to
rebuild San Francisco's Embarca-
dero Freewav, damaged In the. Oct.
17 earthquake, and two Los Angel-
es -area cnirics Ihol. included the
ulrpurt h;IIII:lnd a IL -mile Inll road
through Simi Valley
Caltrans Director Robert K. Best
said that "there are a lot of eco-
nomic Incentives" for large land-
owners near the proposed toll
roads to cooperate with the proj-
ecis He added that he had not
realized before Friday that the
winning proposals were located in
heavily Republican areas.
But the coincidence did not es-
cape Assemblvman Richard Katz
(D- Sylmar), who said the depart-
ment's selection of the winning
bidders showed "a pro-develop-
ment-at- all -cost attitude. It's a
Caltrans giveaway to Republican
supporters." Although still facing
environmental review processes,
the builders have the legal author-
ity to begin negotiating details
with the state. Political opposition
to stop them would be an uphill
fight.
ne of the big winners was
Texas computer magnate H.
Ross Perot, whose consortium pro-
posed the Santa Ana River project.
James E. Erickson, an attorney for
the Perot group, said Friday the
consortium now plans to ask Dis-
neyland, Anaheim Stadium and the
owners of large office towers and
South Coast Plaza shopping center
to help underwrite its project.
"We're going to tell them, 'If you
want to get an off -ramp into your
parking lot, there's some value
here We may he able to put,
an off -ramp to your parking lot. Do
you want to pay for it ? "' he said.
Two years ago, the Legislature
gave grudging approval for three
locally controlled toll roads to be
built in southern Orange County
And last year, Deukmejian won the
right to take toll roads statewide in
exchange for his support for the
5- cent -a- gallon gasoline tax in-
crease.
Best said the projects announced

this one would help give the na-
tion's heartland a new lease on

assistant to the mayor of Wichita,
Kan., and head of the group push-
ing for the new highway
W hile Dockery and his.associ-
ates appear to have generat-
ed a lot of enthusiasm along. the
proposed, route, they still have a
long road to hoe. Officials of the
Federal Highway Administration,
say the I -66 project Is not a top
priority, and environmentalists do
not warm to the prospect of a
six -lane superhighway that would
cross some of the most pristine
landscape in the Southwest: '
Preliminary estimates indicate
the freeway would cost $20 trillion
in federal taxpayer dollars and take
20 years to complete. In an age
when the federal government does
not have enough money to repair
many existing roads, the idea of
building a new interstate highway
may strike a lot of people as folly.
Final approval hinges on the
willingness of states along the
route to spend their federal and
state transportation money and on
federal approval of design and
environmental safeguards. If the
project requires special financing,
congressional approval would be
needed..
Project sponsors, including about
25 cities along `the route, have
already made headway. They have;
formed an association, Interstate 66
Project Inc.,.hired consultants and
lobbyists, produced a promotional
videotape and recently persuaded
the House of Representatives to
appropriate $1.5 million for a feasi-
bilit_y study that would determine
the exact route. The Senate is now
considering the funding proposal. .
In at least one state along the
route, New Mexico, state' officials
have begun holding town meetings
to discuss the project's merits.
he 'proposed interstate has
aroused interest in California,
where San Joaquin Valley officials
in Kern and Fresno counties say
they would get behind the project
if it is likely to boost local econo-
mies. Promoters of i -66 insist that
it would.
"The biggest thing we are trying
to sell about this project is that it
would link local economies closer
together with the national econo-
my,". said Walter Wildman, direc-
tor of the Regional Commerce and
Growth Assn. of Southeast Mis-
souri'and one of the architects of
the I -66 project. "'' r A

through nine states, this corridor
crosses a stand of rural America
inhabited by about 12 million peo-
ple, where the largest cities include
Fresno, Wichita, Lexington, Ky
and Huntington, W Va.
T he proposed I -66 corridor be-
gins in California near the
juncture of Interstate 5 west of
Fresno and extends east across the
Sierra Nevada into southern Ne-
vada. It straddles the Arizona -
Utah boundary, passing into New
Mexico and southern Colorado and
on to southern Kansas and Mis-
souri. It crosses the Mississippi
River into southern Illinois,
through central Kentucky and
West Virginia, and into western
Maryland and northern Virginia.
Most of the new construction
would occur along the western
two - thirds of the route. Eastward
from Kentucky, roadwork would
involve improving and connecting
existing limited access highways.

stretch of limited access freewA

A group of Midwestern buessmen, and polft1dans are proposing coristruc0dn
of a new hWway --to be dubbed Interstate 66— that would span the continental
United States: Advocates say the hlgtiway would be a route to America's
'forgotten c1di s' � places such as Paducah, Ky., Cape Girardeau, Mo. and
Trinidad, Cob., towns that were bypassed by the golden era of freeway
building during the 1950s. ' '

in St. Louis and established a
,project committee.
While they work to drum 'up
support as far west as Fresno, the
Missouri- and Kansas -based archi-
tects of the I -66 project acknowl-
edge it is their part of the country
that stands to gain the most.
"It's the Midwestern area, per-
haps more than any other, that will
benefit most from the linking of
major rural producing areas with
major urban and rural population
centers," says the narrator of an
I -66 videotape that is being circu-
lated along the route.
Meanwhile, the national case for
I -66 is being made in Congress by
Rep. Dan Glickman (D -Kan. ), who
argues that in 20 years —the time it
would take to build I -66— traffic on
the two other east -west interstates
could be nearing gridlock. Glick-
man and other proponents of the
new road argue that it could reduce
traffic on I -40 and I -70 by about
one -third and reduce accident
rates by up to 20% by removing a
significant amount of truck traffic.
If the new east -west interstate
makes a lot of sense to Glickman
and his constituents back in Wichi-
ta, they still have to make a
convincing case to federal highway
administrators. Although officials
there say they will study the idea if
Congress sets aside the money,
they do not believe that traffic on
Interstates 40 and 70 warrants
building a new highway
If there are going to be new
additions to the nation's 42,000 -
mile interstate system, at least two
other proposed routes make.more
sense, said Kevin Heanue, execu-
tive director of planning for FHA.
One of the two would go from
Shreveport, La., to Kansas City
another from St. Louis, Mo., to St.
Paul, Minn., Heanue said.
Yet, federal highway officials
say interstate planning is becoming
more decentralized and if the
states along a proposed route want
to build a new interstate, they can.
"The way it works now, the
highway program is a federal aid
program to the states and it's the
states who decide what to build,"
said Anthony Kane, associate ad-
ministrator for engineering at
FHA.
