WfIIItEAS, the existing State Highway 71 between Los Alamos

vehicle accidents and an unconscionable nwnber of injuries and deaths,
and
WI~Fi.EAS, thousands of Southern Californians traverse tha.t
route weekly to visit the recreation areas that it serves, and

half million recreational visitor da,ys per year, and
41~f~ti.EAS, the deficiencies of Highway 71 can be corrected
- only by its replacenent by the construction of Interstate 15, and
WF~REAS, the six-year highwa.y program sulxnitted to the State
Highway Comnission on July 15, 1976 by the Director of the Department
of Transportation of the State of California provides funds for the -
construction to four lane standards of Interstate 15 between Los Alamos
and Glen ivy, and
wr~'RFA~, although Interstate 15 was conceived as an eight
lane freewa.y necessary to carry the projected traffic, the proposed
four lane develo~nent within the six-year program will at least ma-
terially reduce the presently unacceptable hazardous condition on
Highway 71,
