State Highway Routes 19 and 66: relinquishment.

Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish certain state highway segments to local agencies. Existing law described the authorized routes of State Highway Routes 19 and 66 and authorizes certain portions of those routes to be relinquished to the specified cities. This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Lakewood the portion of State Highway Route 19 within its city limits or sphere of influence under certain conditions. The bill would revise the description of State Highway Route 66 to indicate portions of the route that have been relinquished or that have been authorized to be relinquished, as specified. The bill would also authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Claremont that portion of State Highway Route 66 within its city limits or sphere of influence under specified conditions. The bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 319 of the Streets and Highways Code proposed by SB 1318, to be operative if SB 1318 and this bill become effective on or before January 1, 2011, and this bill is enacted last.
