SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE : Senate Rule 28.8
SUBJECT : California Highway Patrol Officers Frederick Wayne
Enright and Adolfo Martinez Hernandez Memorial
Bridge
SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : This resolution designates the Interstate 680 (I-680)
bridge that crosses Auto Mall Parkway in Alameda County as the
California Highway Patrol (CHP) Officers Frederick Wayne Enright
and Adolfo Martinez Hernandez Memorial Bridge.
ANALYSIS : The author introduced this resolution to change the
highway facility named to honor the life and service of CHP
officers Frederick Wayne Enright and Adolfo Martinez Hernandez.
ACR 100 (Lowenthal, Resolution Chapter 109, Statutes of 2012)
named 26 highway facilities; among them was the Grimmer
Boulevard Bridge on I-680, in the City of Fremont, as the CHP
Officers Fredrick Wayne Enright and Adolfo Martinez Hernandez

Memorial Bridge.
Later, according to the author, family members of the two fallen
officers asked that instead the designation be at a different
location on I-680. Caltrans has already placed a sign at this
new location, the bridge where I-680 crosses over Auto Mall
Parkway. This resolution confirms that action by rescinding the
designation done in ACR 100 and instead designating the I-680
bridge where the sign memorializing the two officers is already
placed.
