	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 145, Achadjian. Faces of Freedom Veterans Memorial: highway
signs.
   This measure would request the Department of Transportation to
determine the cost of appropriate directional signs, consistent with
the signing requirements for the state highway system, on State
Highway Route 101 at its intersection with westbound State Highway
Route 41 in the City of Atascadero, to the Faces of Freedom Veterans
Memorial and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources covering
the cost, to erect those signs.



   WHEREAS, The Faces of Freedom Veterans Memorial, located at 8038
Portola Road in the City of Atascadero, was dedicated on November 8,
2008; and
   WHEREAS, The memorial consists of three elements, which are the
Pathway to Freedom, the Faces of Freedom sculpture, and the Heroes
Wall; and
   WHEREAS, The memorial is the result of the efforts of the
Atascadero Veterans Memorial Foundation, created in April 2006, with
a goal of building a world class veterans memorial on the California
central coast; and
   WHEREAS, The foundation is comprised of two groups of veterans and
community members, including retired, active duty, and reserve
servicemembers, military family members, local and national corporate
sponsors, other members of the community, and sculptor Mark
Greenway; and
   WHEREAS, The memorial is intended to honor the nation's
servicemembers by serving as a symbol of the public's gratitude to
those who, through their service and sacrifice, put their country
first, and to teach youth about the nation's core values; and
   WHEREAS, It is appropriate for the Department of Transportation to
post directional signs to the memorial from State Highway Route 101,
commonly known as U.S. 101; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Department of Transportation is
requested to determine the cost of appropriate directional signs,
consistent with the signing requirements for the state highway
system, on State Highway Route 101 at its intersection with westbound
State Highway Route 41 (Morro Road exit) in the City of Atascadero,
to the Faces of Freedom Veterans Memorial and, upon receiving
donations from nonstate sources sufficient to cover the cost, to
erect those signs; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the Director of Transportation and to the author
for appropriate distribution.
