Walker.
2)Designated the portion of SR 247 in the County of San
Bernardino, beginning at the intersection of SR 247 and Allen
Way and continuing toward Johnson Valley for five miles, as
the "Sergeant Brian Walker Memorial Highway."
3)Requested that the California Department of Transportation
(Caltrans) determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent
with the signing requirements for the state highway system,
showing the specific designation and, upon receiving donations
from non-state sources covering that cost, to erect those
signs.

Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.
COMMENTS: Sergeant Brian Walker was born and raised in San
Bernardino County and attended local schools including Lucerne
Valley High School where he served as an officer in the Future
Farmers of America program. Sergeant Walker later served as a
military policeman in the United States Army. Sergeant Walker,
six days after arriving for his second deployment in the Middle
East, tragically lost his life in Afghanistan on May 13, 2012,
when a vehicle under his command was hit with an improvised
explosive device.
To memorialize Sergeant Walker's service and his contribution to
his community, this bill seeks to name the portion of SR 247 in
San Bernardino County (from the intersection of SR 247 and Allen
Way and continuing five miles toward Johnson Valley) as the
"Sergeant Brian Walker Memorial Highway."
