A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO
CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING THE POSITION OF THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY RELATIVE TO THE
NEED FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A TUNNEL FOR ARCHIBALD AVENUE AS
PART OF THE EXPANSION OF ONTARIO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
WHEREAS, the Los Angeles Department of Airports is planning an
expansion of Ontario International Airport; and
WHEREAS, recent statements have indicated that the Los Angeles
Airport Commission does not plan to construct a tunnel for Archibald
Avenue as called for in their environmental report; and
WHEREAS, all previous environmental documents concerning the
expansion and all plans shown at public hearings have provided for the
construction of a tunnel beneath the runway to accommodate Archibald Avenue;
and
WHEREAS, other major airports in California have suffered from a
lack of adequate vehicular access and the restriction of traffic on
Archibald Avenue will complicate future access to Ontario International
Airport; and
WHEREAS, if the tunnel is not provided for Archibald Avenue, it will
create an excessive detour resulting in additional energy consumption,
unnecessary expense to the motoring public and an increase in air pollution;
and
WHEREAS, it is not fair to the residents of San Bernardino and
Riverside Counties to expect them to pay the excessive costs to detour
around the airport;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Rancho Cucamonga supports the position of the San Bernardino County
Board of Supervisors requesting that the Los Angeles Airport Commission
provide for the construction of a tunnel at Archibald Avenue when the new
runway is constructed, and directs the City Clerk of the City of Rancho
Cucamonga to send copies of this resolution to the Los Angeles Airport
Commission, County of San Bernardino Environmental Improvement Agency, all
cities of the County of San Bernardino, and to our State legislators.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED this 25th day of January, 1978.
