                                Nancy Skinner, Chair
                    HR 36 (Hill) - As Introduced:  August 7, 2012
           
          SUBJECT  :   California State Highway System.

           SUMMARY  :   Commemorates the 100th anniversary of the 
          groundbreaking, in the County of San Mateo, of the California 
          State Highway System on August 7, 2012.  Specifically,  this 
          resolution  makes the following legislative findings:

          1)The recognition of a statewide highway system of roadways can 
            be traced back as far as 1769, with the King's Highway, El 
            Camino Real, to facilitate travel between the missions of 
            California; and, in 1895, the Legislature created the Bureau 
            of Highways, which marked the beginning of a desire to 
            establish a statewide system of navigable roadways.

          2)The California State Highway System was established by the 
            State Highways Act of 1909, which was ratified by the People 
            of California on November 8, 1910, and the California Highway 
            Commission was then created to oversee highway construction, 
            maintenance, and control of the state highway system.

          3)In 1912, the California Highway Commission awarded State 
            Highway Project 1 in the County of San Mateo, in front of 
            historic Uncle Tom's Cabin, on Highway 1, on El Camino Real 
            within the City of San Bruno; which today is known as State 
            Highway Route 82.

          4)Today the California State Highway System includes 15,181.36 
            miles of navigable roads, with more than 14 billion vehicle 
            miles of travel every month.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   None.
