SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 14
(By Senators Ross, Sharpe and Minard)
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, Since 1997, the Little Kanawha River Parkway
Commission has been pursuing its efforts to construct and designate
this parkway; and
Whereas, Placement of this sign would serve as a tribute to
the hard work and 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.
