SUMMARY
On January 25, 2007, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Government (COG) ad-hoc 1-10/605
Interchange Committee met and requested that all cities in the COG approve a resolution to
formally indicate their support for the completion of improvements to the 1-10/605 interchange and
also the completion of the 1-10 HOV lane between the 605 and 57 freeway.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 2007-05 (Attachment A), supporting
the completion of 1-10/605 interchange improvements and the extension of the 1-10 HOV lane
between the 605 and the 57 freeway.
ANALYSIS
The COG is in the process of lobbying various transportation agencies in an effort to secure the
funding needed to complete both the 1-10/605 interchange and the 1-10 HOV lane
process, it is important for the COG to build a broad base of regional support
especially that of the municipal agencies which are currently affected by
transportation infrastructure at the 1-10/605 interchange and the lack of an HOV
between the 605 and the 57 freeway.
