   This measure would designate the Golden Valley Road Bridge over
State Highway Route 14 in the City of Santa Clarita as the Connie

signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations
from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.

to the Santa Clarita Valley community and was known as the Santa
Clarita Valley's "Road Warrior"; and

serving on the city's first planning commission; and
   WHEREAS, Connie Worden-Roberts also served as chairwoman of the
League of Women Voters of Los Angeles County, founder of the Valley
Industry Association, former chairwoman of the board and director of
the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, and as a member of many
more community organizations; and
   WHEREAS, Connie Worden-Roberts was an early visionary and tireless
advocate for the Golden Valley Road Bridge project, knowing it was
necessary to meet the needs of the growing valley; and
   WHEREAS, Connie Worden-Roberts passed away on August 12, 2014; and

   WHEREAS, Designating the Golden Valley Road Bridge over State
Highway Route 14 in the City of Santa Clarita as the Connie
Worden-Roberts Memorial Bridge would be an appropriate honor for this
community champion; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the Golden
Valley Road Bridge over State Highway Route 14 in the City of Santa
Clarita as the Connie Worden-Roberts Memorial Bridge; and be it
further
   Resolved, That the Department of Transportation is requested to
determine the cost of erecting appropriate signs, consistent with the
signing requirements for the state highway system, showing this
special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate
sources covering that cost, to erect those signs; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author
for appropriate distribution.
