Long Beach Bridge Gets New Proposed Name

LONG BEACH– Senator Lena A. Gonzalez (D – Long Beach) and Assemblymember Patrick O’Donnell (D – Long Beach) May 24, announced “Long Beach International Gateway” as the name receiving the most votes for Long Beach’s newest bridge in a community survey. Based on the survey results, Assemblymember O’Donnell and Senator Gonzalez have introduced Assembly Concurrent Resolution 88 to designate the state highway route 710 where the bridge is located as the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge. If adopted by the state legislature, non-state funds must be identified for the construction of a sign. This of course ignores the much of the criticism from community members who objected to the limited number of preselected choices to choose from.
