Recently the City Council discussed this matter during the review Fiscal year 2002-2003 budget. They felt that an interchange is more appropriate than an over crossing. Since the process to do either project usually takes many years, we feel that now is the time to start. Carlos Ortega, our City Manager met with Supervisor Wilson to discuss a joint project recently. We are therefore requesting that this matter be brought to CVAG for funding consideration. Thank you for help and support on past projects, and we look forward to a speedy, successful project with Cal Trans, FHWA, CVAG, the County of Riverside and ourselves. Sincerely, k_...._ P1Ric Ma yor ayor RSKIRJF:jI cc: Anne Mayer, District Director D-8 Cal Trans Supervisor Ray Wilson, 4th District Eric Haley, Executive Director, RCTC Carlos Ortego, City Manager
