	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 85, as introduced, Denham. Joseph A. Zanger Memorial Flyover.
    This measure would designate the flyover ramp at the interchange
of State Highway Routes 152 and 156 as the Joseph A. Zanger Memorial

to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing this designation
and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that
cost, to erect those signs.
   Fiscal committee: yes.



   WHEREAS, Joseph A. Zanger was born on December 28, 1927, in San
Jose, California; and
   WHEREAS, After attending college, Joseph moved to the Pacheco Pass
area to help manage his family's orchard operations; and
   WHEREAS, In 1943, the Zanger family founded Casa de Fruta to
complement its farming business. The Casa de Fruta business started
with a small cherry stand built in 1943 and grew to include a large
fruit stand, a restaurant, a park for recreational vehicles, a lodge,
wine tasting, a gift shop, a barnyard zoo, a candy store, a service
station, and a dried fruit mail order business; and
   WHEREAS, Joseph studied safety and economic issues related to the
transportation system of central California and served as an advocate
for the improvement of transportation in that area; and
   WHEREAS, In 1978, Joseph served on the planning committee for the
State Highway Route 5 project from Stockton to Santa Nella/State
Highway Route 152; and
   WHEREAS, In 2005, Joseph also worked to establish a new route from
State Highway Routes 152 and 156 to State Highway Route 101; and
   WHEREAS, Joseph's advocacy for safety and transportation
improvements has affected thousands of motorists; now, therefore, be
it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates the
flyover ramp at the interchange of State Highway Routes 152 and 156
as the Joseph A. Zanger Memorial Flyover; 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 the cost, to erect those signs; and be it further

   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the Department of Transportation and to the author for
appropriate distribution.
