ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

No alternatives to the staff recommendation are presented.

IMPACT ON BUDGET DEFICIT AND OBJECTIVES

These actions will not affect the projected budget deficit since they are funded as part of the Authority’s normal business expenses included in the operating budget.

BACKGROUND

As part of the community actions honoring the late Cesar Chavez, the County of Los Angeles and Cities of Los Angeles and Monterey Park have taken action to change the name of Macy Street, Brooklyn Avenue, and a segment of Sunset Boulevard and Riggin Street (see attached resolutions from each jurisdiction). As indicated in the attached map, the City of Los Angeles renamed the segment of Sunset Boulevard between Figueroa Street and Main Street, Macy Street between Main Street and Mission Road, and Brooklyn Avenue between Mission Road and the city limits at Indiana Street. These street segments are collectively renamed to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue. The County of Los Angeles renamed Operations Committee April 26, 1994 page 2

Brooklyn Avenue between Indiana Street and Vancouver Avenue to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue, as well. The City of Monterey Park is renaming Brooklyn Avenue between Vancouver Avenue and Collegian Avenue, and Riggin Street east to Atlantic Boulevard to Avenida Cesar Chavez.

MTA public notification material will be distributed in the form of new timetables as current inventory is depleted (see attached sample). Other changes such as bus headings are already installed; all changes will be made by the June 26, 1994, Shake-Up.

IMPLEMENTATION

Recent community actions include naming several major thoroughfares in honor of the late Cesar Chavez. The Board is requested to concur with staff’s proposal to take those actions required to update public information and internal documentation where appropriate, and approve the reissue of the Official Route Descriptions, copies of which are on file with the MTA Secretary:

RESOLUTION

By

SupervisorGloria Molina

WHEREAS,on April 21, 1993, this country lost one of its ~most noted leaders in the continuing struggle for justice, dignity, and fair working conditions for those whotoil to put food on our tables.

WHEREAS,Cesar Chavez devoted his life to raise the conscience of America as to the plight of farm workers in this country and the unhealthy and intolerable working conditions which they have to endure.

WHEREAS,because of this tireless dedication to the oppressed and those without a voice it is fitting and proper that the citizens for the Countyof Los Angeles honor his legacy by renaming a street in his honor.

WHEREAS,the renaming of Macy Street and Brooklyn Avenue to "Avenida Cesar Chavez’ has relevance for the East Los Angeles community becauseit ties together the historic birthplace of Los Angeles, Olvera Street, with the Mexican American community of East Los Angeles. Crossing through the communities of Boyle Heights, Maravilla, East Los Angeles and Monterey Park, ’Avenida Cesar Chavez" would terminate at East Los Angeles CommunityCollege, an important cultural and educational landmark for this community.
