SUMMARY : Designates a portion of State Highway Route 163 in the
City of San Diego as the Esteban Bahena Memorial Highway. Also,
requests the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to
determine the cost for appropriate signs showing this
designation and upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
covering that cost, to erect those signs. Specifically, this
resolution makes the following legislative findings:
1)Esteban Bahena was employed as an emergency medical technician
with the San Diego Medical Service/Rural Metro.
2)Mr. Bahena was killed in the line of duty on the morning of
April 1, 2010, on State Highway Route 163 in the City of San
Diego, while providing emergency assistance to persons
involved in two vehicle accidents. He was only 24 years old.
3)Mr. Bahena graduated from Mount Miguel High School in Spring
Valley, subsequently graduated from the University of
California at San Diego, and was a resident of Lemon Grove.
EXISTING LAW assigns Caltrans the responsibility to operate and
maintain state highways. This includes the installation and
maintenance of highway signs.
