LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 652, Cooley. State Highway Route 16: relinquishment.
Existing law gives the Department of Transportation full
possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes
the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a
process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the
California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the
commission to relinquish certain state highway segments to local
agencies.
Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish to the County
of Sacramento the portion of State Highway Route 16 that is located
within the unincorporated area of the county, east of the City of
Sacramento boundary and west of Watt Avenue, under certain
conditions.
This bill would revise this authorization to apply to a specified
portion of State Highway Route 16 that is located within the
unincorporated area of the county, between the general easterly city
limits of the City of Sacramento and near Grant Line Road, and would
impose additional conditions on the relinquishment. The bill would
state the intent of the Legislature in this regard.
This bill would also authorize the commission to relinquish to the
City of Rancho Cordova a specified portion of State Highway Route
16, under certain conditions.
