communities along the highway to protect the scenic beauty
and improve the safety of SR 74. Mr. Wilson was also
instrumental in the successful effort to prepare and
implement the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat
Conservation Plan/Natural Community Conservation Plan,

and coherent Multiple Species Reserve System involving

By naming a segment of SR 74 for Mr. Wilson, this

National Monument visitor center four miles to the west as
the Roy Wilson Memorial Highway. The resolution further
requests the Department of Transportation to erect
appropriate signs upon receiving donations from non-state
sources to cover the costs.
