	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 126, as amended, Davis. El Salvador Community Corridor.
   This measure would recognize the area between Adams Boulevard and
11th Street on Vermont  Boulevard   Avenue 
in the City of Los Angeles as the El Salvador Community Corridor.
The measure would also request the Department of Transportation to
determine the cost for appropriate signs showing this special
designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources
covering that cost, to erect those signs at the Vermont 
Boulevard   Avenue  exits on State Highway Route
10.
   Fiscal committee: yes.



   WHEREAS, The City of Los Angeles, which represents over three
million residents and prides itself in cultural diversity, aims to
include all of its citizens in community affairs; and
   WHEREAS, Located in southern California, Los Angeles is one of the
world's major global cities, and is a hub of shipping,
manufacturing, and financial industries. Los Angeles is also
world-renowned in the entertainment and communications fields; and
   WHEREAS, Los Angeles is one of only two United States cities
without a majority population. People from 140 countries, who speak
approximately 86 languages, currently call Los Angeles home; and
   WHEREAS, Los Angeles is home to over 500,000 El Salvadorans, who
have contributed to improving the quality of life in the great City
of Los Angeles. A large majority of the city's El Salvadoran
population resides in the Pico Union area of Los Angeles; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature recognizes the area between
Adams Boulevard and 11th Street on Vermont  Boulevard
  Avenue  in the City of Los Angeles as the El
Salvador Community Corridor; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested 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 that cost, to erect those signs at the eastbound
and westbound exits to Vermont  Boulevard  
Avenue  on State Highway Route 10; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author and the Department of Transportation
for appropriate distribution.
