John received a commendation from President George W. Bush
for his work in 2003 during the "Old Fire" in San
Bernardino, where he helped control traffic and used a plow
truck to maintain an evacuation site.
Throughout his state service career, John was genuinely
respected, admired, and appreciated, by all who had the
opportunity to know and work with him and to reap the
benefits of his exceptional spirit.
On November 28, 2007, John Knabenbauer was struck and
killed by a passing vehicle while working on Interstate
215, near the Fifth Street off-ramp, in San Bernardino.
This resolution names the Fifth Street Bridge, which
crosses a portion of Interstate 215 in San Bernardino, as
the John Knabenbauer Fifth Street Bridge. The resolution
further requests the Caltrans to erect appropriate signs
upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover
the costs.
