The National Purple Heart Trail was established in 1992 to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who have been wounded or killed in combat. The trail includes stretches of highway across the United States. Numerous segments of California highways are designated as part of the National Purple Heart Trail, including the entirety of Interstate Routes 5 (I-5) and 80 (I-80), portions of SR 101 in Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, and a portion of SR 223 in Kern County. This resolution adds SR 5, SR 16, SR 20, and SR 45 in Colusa County to those routes designated for inclusion in the trail. As noted above, all of I-5, including the portion through Colusa County, is already included as part of the trail. Analysis Prepared by:Chuck Nicol / APPR. / (916) 319-2081 ACR 191 Page 3
