'I l~O ;f.,{ .,~. JAN 6 1941 00 ~ ~ lJ c.:> 2- That the location of the present Bay Bridge does not adequately serve the larGer portion of the population of Alameda County. Out of a total County population of 743,000, the areas east of Lake Merritt and to the southern County line, including East Oakland and the Cities of Alameda; San Leandro and Hayward, have a population of 391,271. To the traffic emanating from this area, must be added that which originates in the cities and towns along Highway 50 and that part of Hi.::;hway 99 from StDckton to Bakersfield. 3- That the approaches to the presently existing structure are not adequate to properly care for the traffic of the Bridge. 4- That the Location of the proposed Bridge should be to the south of the present structure and so situated that it might adequately serve the areas hereinbefore described. 5- That the construction of a new Bridge in close proximity to the present Bridge would add greatly to the existing confusion in, and difficulties of, handling traffic in these areas. 6- That of all the Bridge plans submitted for study, the Walsh Plan, providing for a bridgehead at the foot of Army Street in San Francisco and a double bridgehead in Alameda - one to serve West Oakland and points north, and one to serve Southern Alameda County - would most adequately serve this area. 7- That the cost of construction of the Bridge proposed under the Walsh Plan, or some other similar plan, would be much more economical than any other proposed location because of the fact that the lands are now available and open for the proposed construction work. 8- fhat a recent study of the diversion of traffic from the present Bridge discloses that approximately 25J& of the present Bridge traffic would be diverted to the proposed Bridge if built between Army Street and Bay z.'arm Island, and that the volume of "peak" traffic diverted would represent approximately 503& of such traffic. 9--'rhat the greatest industrial and residential expansion and development in Alameda County ahs been, and will continue to be, in the area that would be most adequately served by a Bridge from the foot of Army Street in San Francisco to Bay Farm Island in Alameda. 10- 'rhat a crossing on the location herein proposed would bring the San Prancisco Municipal Airport and the Oakland Airport many miles nearer each other than another crossing in the vicinity of the present bridge which would be of first importance in case of war. 11- That the rich San Joaquin Valley with all its products which are shipped to the San Francisco market would have a direct Freeway into the city with a minimum of traffic stops and with the proctical elimination of traffic congestion areas. 12- That a second crossing at the location herein suggested would give a wide distribution of traffic and tend to eliminate congestion rather than to concentrate traffic with increased confusion as would be the case with a second crossing in close proximity to the present bridge. and n u BE IT FUWrLLR RESOLVED that in consideration of these factors, the Congress of the United States, and all other Bodies vested with authority to deal with this suoject, be, and they are, hereby respectfully urged and requested to find and determine that the proposed Bridge should have its westerly terminus at Ammy Street in San Francisco and its easterly terminus on Bay Farm Island in Alameda and to authorize and direct its construction accordingly.
