In its discussion with D. J. Smith and Associates and
Burch Bachtold, District Director of Transportation, State

referred to proposed legislation AB 383 (Assemblyman W. Baker)
which would initiate the process for the construction of a second

take into consideration Transportation Systems Management (TSM)
features, such as car-pool lanes , and that the Environmental Impact
Report on the second span address the growth-inducing potential for
such a second span.
