SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 31
(By Senators Ross, Redd, Oliverio, Kessler, McKenzie, Love,
Caldwell, Rowe and Facemyer)
[Originating in the Committee on Transportation;
reported February 26, 2002.]
Requesting the Division of Highways authorize the Little Kanawha
River Parkway Commission to place a sign at the Intersection
of I-79 and Exit 79 at Burnsville designating that portion of
Route 5 as the future Little Kanawha River Parkway.
Whereas, When completed, the Little Kanawha River Parkway will
serve portions of Braxton, Calhoun, Gilmer, Wirt and Wood counties;
and
Whereas, The Little Kanawha River Parkway Commission has
produced a sign, using its own funds, which reads: "You are
entering the future LITTLE KANAWHA RIVER PARKWAY"; and
Whereas, To place the sign at any location other than at the
intersection of I-79 and Exit 79 at Burnsville would defeat the
purpose of the sign with its present wording; and
Whereas, It is with much hard work and effort that the Little
Kanawha River Parkway Commission has been pursuing its efforts to
construct and designate this parkway since 1997; and
Whereas, Placement of this sign would serve as a tribute to
the efforts already expended by this group; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to authorize
the Little Kanawha River Parkway Commission to place a sign at the
Intersection of I-79 and Exit 79 at Burnsville designating that
portion of Route 5 as the future Little Kanawha River Parkway;
and, be it
Further resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby
directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of
Transportation and the Little Kanawha River Parkway Commission.
