A MEMORIAL
urging the secretary of the united states department of transportation to designate united states highway 93 from phoenix to las vegas as a future interstate system route.
(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
To the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation:
Whereas, Congress enacted the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 to authorize and fund construction of the Interstate Highway System; and
Whereas, Congress enacted the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995, which empowered the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation to make modifications to the National Highway System and to designate a highway as a route or a future route on the Interstate System; and
Whereas, infrastructure for transportation systems plays an integral role in supporting the diversification and expansion of the workforce and economy; and
Whereas, Arizona is uniquely positioned by virtue of its location and favorable business climate to serve as a logistics and distribution center for the receipt, shipment and assembly of goods on the west coast to points north and east; and
Whereas, Interstate 11 is a designation for a proposed interstate highway to run from Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada, and to eventually continue on to Reno, Nevada, and Seattle, Washington, and end at the Canadian border; and
Whereas, proposed Interstate 11 would follow the route of United States Highway 93 from just outside Phoenix, Arizona, to Las Vegas, Nevada; and
Whereas, such an interstate highway would allow Arizona to advance its interests in recreation and tourism and increase participation in commercial trucking and the moving of freight, including the continued development of logistics and distribution centers; and
Whereas, such an interstate highway would connect to the Interstate Highway 40 east-to-west corridor and assist in making Arizona the logistics, distribution and manufacturing capital of the West.
Wherefore your memorialist, the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, prays:
1. That the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation designate United States Highway 93 from just outside Phoenix, Arizona, to Las Vegas, Nevada, as a future Interstate System route and as part of the proposed Interstate 11.
2. That the Members of the Congress from the State of Arizona propose this action and encourage the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation to take such action.
3. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this Memorial to the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation and each Member of Congress from the State of Arizona.
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED BY THE HOUSE APRIL 4, 2012.
FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE APRIL 4, 2012.
