SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 137 AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE (Proposed by the Senate Committee on Rules on February 10, 1994) (Patron Prior to Substitute--Senator Trumbo) Expressing the sense of the General Assembly concerning plans for the TransAmerican Transportation Corridor (I-66) and Interstate Route 73.

WHEREAS, the 1991 U.S. Department of Transportation Appropriations Act included provision for the study of an interstate highway from Detroit, MI, to Charleston, SC, to be known as Interstate Route 73; and

WHEREAS, the 1994 U.S. Department of Transportation Appropriations Act included provision for the study of an interstate linking the east and west coasts of the United States, herein referred to as the TransAmerican Transportation Corridor (I-66); and

WHEREAS, different communities in Virginia have passed conflicting individual recommendations for these interstate highways; and

WHEREAS, the entire western, southwestern, and central part of Virginia will benefit when these interstate highways are developed; and

WHEREAS, a coordinated effort is necessary by all communities in the areas to be affected by these interstate highways to secure this benefit to these areas; and

WHEREAS, that coordinated effort should focus on routes which maximize the benefits of linking these two interstate highways; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That the General Assembly request all parties to coordinate their efforts to locate these highways for maximum benefit for all Virginians; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the TransAmerican Transportation Corridor (I-66) should generally follow a route entering Virginia at Interstate Route 64, in the Allegheny Highlands, following it to its intersection with U.S. 220, then south to the Roanoke Valley, then continuing east along the U.S. Route 460 corridor to an eastern terminus at the seaport of Norfolk; and, be it

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Interstate Route 73 generally follow a route entering Virginia near Bluefield and the U.S. Route 460 corridor, following that general corridor through Giles County to Montgomery County, then intersect Interstate Route 81, which should be widened in the process, then follow Interstate Route 81 to the Roanoke Valley, then proceeding south through Henry County following generally the U.S. Route 220 corridor; and be it

RESOLVED FINALLY, That the Clerk of the Senate transmit copies of this resolution to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Virginia Congressional delegation so that they may be apprised of the sense of the Virginia General Assembly on these matters.
