<br />Governmental Agencies
<br />City of Redlands
<br />Mr. Christen M. Knudsen, Councilman of the City of Redlands, made a presentation to the Council members regarding
<br />the completion of Highway 30, the Foothill Freeway, which runs from the Glendora area to west Redlands, at
<br />Tennessee and Third Streets.
<br />Mr. Knudsen reported that at a recent SANBAG meeting a vote was taken which resulted in favor of continuing
<br />this project, and the feeling is that with the assistance and funding from local groups, in the amount of
<br />approximately 6.4 million dollars, or 83%, and State funding in the amount of 1.3 million dollars, or 17%,
<br />along with Federal funding in the amount of 2.6 million dollars, for a total of 10.3 million dollars, this
<br />project could be completed over a period of the next six years.
<br />Mr. Knudsen stated the completion of this freeway will be a vital and badly needed route not only for Redlands
<br />and other western valley cities, but the eastern valley cities as well.
<br />Mr. Knudsen advised that both the State Highway Commission and CALTRANS are in favor of completing this project,
<br />and after resolving certain conflicts during their meeting, SANBAG is also in agreement.
<br />Mr. Knudsen said with the joint efforts and cooperation between the East Valley cities and the West Valley
<br />cities, this arterial highway can be constructed and completed for the benefit of all.
<br />Mr. Knudsen further advised that, at the SANBAG meeting, Supervisor Robert Townsend and the City of Fontana
<br />indicated approval and support of this project; however, the City of Rialto, although not opposed to the
<br />project, have not as yet taken action.
<br />Mr. Knudsen stated he would like the City of Colton to keep in mind that the extension of Highway 30 is a
<br />regional project that will benefit all surrounding cities, not just Redlands, such as Loma Linda, when the new
<br />Veterans facility is completed.
<br />Mayor Beltran asked how many years will be involved for completion of this proposal?
<br />Mr. Knudsen answered it is anticipated approximately six years, however, this may be shortened to four years.
<br />Mayor Beltran thanked Councilman Knudsen for his fine presentation and report.
<br />Planning Commission
<br />Mayor Beltran stated that appointments to the Planning Commission will be made at the next regular Council
<br />Meeting, November 16, 1976.
