           SUBJECT  :    Esteban Bahena Memorial Highway

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution designates a portion of State  
          Highway Route 163 in the City of San Diego as the Esteban  
          Bahena Memorial Highway, and requests the Department of  
          Transportation to determine the cost for appropriate signs  
          showing this designation and, upon receiving donations from  
          nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.

           ANALYSIS  :    Esteban Bahena graduated from Mount Miguel  
          High School in Spring Valley, subsequently graduated from  
          the University of California at San Diego, was a resident  
          of Lemon Grove, and was employed as an emergency medical  
          technician with the San Diego Medical Service/Rural Metro.

          Mr. Bahena was killed in the line of duty on the morning of  
          April 1, 2010, on State Highway Route 163 in the City of  
          San Diego while providing emergency assistance to persons  
          involved in two vehicle accidents.  At the time of his  
          death, Mr. Bahena was only 24 years of age.

                                                           CONTINUED





                                                               SCR 122

          Mr. Bahena is survived by his mother Tarcilla, his father  
          Esteban, and two sisters, Rosas Barajas and Angelica  
          Bahena.

          Mr. Bahena provided extraordinary public service and made  
          an exemplary contribution to the public good, and in  
          recognition of Mr. Bahena's ultimate sacrifice for the  
          residents of this state, it is appropriate to dedicate a  
          portion of State Highway Route 163 in his memory.

          This resolution:

          1.Designates the portion of State Highway Route 163 between  
            Washington Street and State Highway Route 8 (Interstate  
            8) in the City of San Diego as the "Esteban Bahena  
            Memorial Highway."

          2.Request the Department of Transportation determine the  
            costs of erecting the appropriate signs, consistent with  
            the signing requirements for the state highway system,  
            showing this special designation and, upon receiving  
            donations from nonstate sources covering the costs, to  
            erect those signs.
