WHEREAS, Route 74 was adopted into the State Highway System in 1933 and served as

been supplanted during more recent decades by improvements to Interstates 15 and 215,
as well as to several local arterial roadways; and

establishing local control throughout Route 74 from I-15 to I-215; and,

of portions of Route 74 between I-15 to Mauricio Avenue, as amended by AB 1915 (2008);
