LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for the California Transportation Commission to adopt a highway on an authorized route. Existing law requires the commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway portions that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment, and authorizes relinquishment in certain other cases.

This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Redondo Beach the portion of State Route 107 within the city limits and prescribe conditions that apply upon relinquishment.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 407.6 is added to the Streets and Highways Code, to read:

407.6.

(a) The commission may relinquish to the City of Redondo Beach the portion of Route 107 that is located within the city limits of the city, upon terms and conditions the commission finds to be in the best interests of the state.

(b) A relinquishment under this section shall become effective immediately following the recordation by the county recorder of the relinquishment resolution containing the commission’s approval of the terms and conditions of the relinquishment.

(c) On and after the effective date of the relinquishment, all of the following shall occur:

(1) The portion of Route 107 relinquished under this section shall cease to be a state highway.

(2) The portion of Route 107 relinquished under this section may not be considered for future adoption under Section 81.

(3) The city shall ensure the continuity of traffic flow on the relinquished portion of Route 107, including, but not limited to, any traffic signal progression.

(4) For the portion of Route 107 that is relinquished, the city shall maintain within its jurisdiction signs directing motorists to the continuation of Route 107.
