public service or some exemplary contribution to the public

or structure is located.

signs and plaques must be paid by local or private sources.

in length.
6)The proposed designation must reflect a community consensus
and be without local opposition.

This bill designates the portion of State Highway Route 33 in
the County of Ventura from West Ojai Avenue at post mile 11.21
to Fairview Road at post mile 12.8 as the Ventura County Deputy
