ANALYSIS :
Comments
1. In 1918 Ernest Louis Yeager (1893-1979) moved to
Riverside, California from his home in Tomah, Wisconsin
and founded the E.L. Yeager Construction Company, Inc.,
in 1919, which began by building parking lots and city
streets in San Bernardino and, during the following
decades, the company became one of the state's largest
civil engineering firms and constructed a stretch of
Historic Route 66, the road system around the Hoover
Dam, major portions of Interstate 15, and multiple
interchanges on State Highway Route 91.

2. Following the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the company
was given the contract to replace the twin 765 foot
bridges of Interstate 5 near Santa Clarita with only 130
days to complete the project that would normally take
more than a year, and yet the company finished the
project in only 100 days.
3. Beyond construction and development, the Yeager family
has been dedicated to the Inland Empire community and
has developed strong relationships with the University
of California, Riverside, through gifts, service, and
partnerships from the university's founding, and in 1957
the Yeager Company donated the concrete that became the
"C" that now marks the University of California,
Riverside. The Yeager family has served the community
through many charitable and civic organizations.
This resolution:
1. Designates the interchange at State Highway Route 60 and
State Highway Route 15, in the County of Riverside, as
the "E. L. Yeager Interchange."
2. Request the Department of Transportation 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 the
cost, to erect those signs.
