State highways: scenic highways.

Existing law authorizes the California Transportation Commission to adopt a location for a state highway alignment on routes authorized by law. Existing law provides that certain portions of authorized state highway routes are also within the state scenic highway system, subject to implementation through a corridor protection system designed to meet certain scenic highway standards. Existing law provides for the Department of Transportation to designate a particular state highway within the scenic highway system as an official state scenic highway upon determination by the department that a corridor protection program has been implemented, as specified. Existing law includes in the state scenic highway system the portion of State Highway Route 10 between Route 38 near Redlands and Route 62 near Whitewater in the Counties of San Bernardino and Riverside. This bill would delete this portion of State Highway Route 10 from the state scenic highway system.
