City Council

4. LETTER OF OPPOSITION – SB710 (DURAZO) – F2M23-19\nRecently, staff was made aware that the newly appointed California Senator Durazo,\nrepresenting Alhambra, brought forward a Senate Bill (SB710) that is not in alignment with\nthe City’s Legislative Platform or is the best interest of the City. In fact, SB710 is in\ncomplete conflict with the progress that has been made on the fully funded 710 Arterial\nProject. Staff has been tirelessly working with partner agencies and neighboring\njurisdictions to create better mobility, less congestion, and improved safety and air quality\nfor Alhambra, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, South Pasadena, and East Los Angeles\ncommunities. In accordance with the City’s Legislative Platform and in support of the City’s\n710 mobility improvement projects, a Letter of Opposition was submitted to Senator\nDurazo to request the proposed SB710 legislation not move forward.\nRecommended Action: City Council receive and order filed the City of Alhambra’s\nLetter of Opposition – SB710 (Durazo).
