Mr. Winder Friday (Interim)
City Manager
City of Carlsbad
Carlsbad, California 92008
The first phase of the functional classification
study, as described by my letter to you dated August 20,
1969, was completed and sent to Washington, D. C., on
October 28, 1969. The assistance provided by you and all
the other cities and counties made this first phase of
great value for future planning in California.
The next phase of studies is now being initiated
nationwide. It will provide a functional classification
of all highways, roads, and streets which will exist or be
needed in the year 1990. In addition, costs will be esti-
mated to provide service adequate for estimated future
highway, road, and street travel demands, giving considera-
tion to the various other modes of travel. The study will
also provide the primary basis for measuring accrued benefits.
The study will be based on the philosophy that
needs are determined by tolerable levels of service for
various road classifications. Needed projects will include
representative highway, road, and street improvements that
would be made with adequate but not unlimited funding.
The studies have two basic objectives:
1. To provide the Department of Transportation
with facts required to make recommendations
to the Congress on specific changes considered
desirable with respect to the character and
size of Federal-aid systems and programs.
(Report due in 1972.)
2. To provide the California Legislature with the
facts required to form an objective approach
to determination of criteria for future
highway, road, and street systems and programs.
Mr. Winder Friday -2- June 5, 1970
To better provide for the second objective, a con-
tinuous functional classification study has been initiated
in response to State Senate Resolution 49, adopted February 17,
1969.
The importance of the considerations and eventual
determinations which may be made by the California Legislature,
based on the results of California's continuous functional
classification and needs process, cannot be overemphasized.
They could have considerable impact on all programs for
highway, road, and street systems in the State. These studies
cannot have value and cannot gain acceptance unless both the
policymaking and professional levels of government are
involved. It is imperative that we have maximum participation
from all local governments and, for this reason, I sincerely
solicit your cooperation.
You and members of your staff will soon be informed
of the conduct of the study in this District.
Very truly yours,
J.M)EKEMA
District Engineer
