RESOLUTION NO. 96 -3531
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE
CITY REQUESTING REPRESENTATION FOR THE SAN GABRIEL
AND POMONA VALLEYS ON THE ALAMEDA CORRIDOR
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
WHEREAS, although the Alameda Corridor Freight Consolidation Project will greatly improve
rail access to the ports, as well as eliminate numerous grade crossings, the project will cause substantially
increased rail traffic in the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys; and
WHEREAS, in particular, by the year 2020, 100 trains per day, some as long as two miles, will
be leaving the ports, traveling north through 30 cities and 70 intersections. To mitigate this serious
problem it is vital that the necessary improvements and funds be identified to address negative impacts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Temple City as
follows:
SECTION 1. The Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority (ACTA) is hereby urged to add
a voting member representing the cities of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys on the ACTA Board.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk is directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the ACTA Board,
San Gabriel and Pomona Valley cities and the County Board of Supervisors.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 6th day of August, 1996.
