the El Salvador Community Corridor.  The measure would also

   WHEREAS, The City of Los Angeles, which represents over three
million residents and prides itself in cultural diversity, aims to
include all of its citizens in community affairs; and
   WHEREAS, Located in southern California, Los Angeles is one of the
world's major global cities, and is a hub of shipping,
manufacturing, and financial industries. Los Angeles is also
world-renowned in the entertainment and communications fields; and
   WHEREAS, Los Angeles is one of only two United States cities
without a majority population. People from 140 countries, who speak
approximately 86 languages, currently call Los Angeles home; and
   WHEREAS, Los Angeles is home to over 500,000 El Salvadorans, who
have contributed to improving the quality of life in the great City
of Los Angeles. A large majority of the city's El Salvadoran
population resides in the Pico Union area of Los Angeles; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the  State of California
 Legislature  recognizes the  Los Angeles 
area between Adams Boulevard and 11th Street on Vermont Boulevard
 in the City of Los Angeles  as the El Salvador Community
Corridor; and be it further
    Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested
to determine the cost of appropriate signs, consistent with the
signing requirements for the state highway system, showing this
special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate
sources sufficient to cover that cost, to erect those signs at the
eastbound and westbound exits to Vermont Boulevard on State Highway
Route 10; and be it further 
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author  and the Department of
Transportation  for appropriate distribution.
