On March 26, 1991, the Board of Supervisors referred a letter from Edwin Ng, Northern

support of the Board of Supervisors to use State Highway 4 and 24 and local county roads for
the Peace Run on May 28, 1991.
The Public Works Department has received only preliminary and incomplete information from
the applicants of Peace Run '91. Caltrans staff has informed the Public Works Department that
current State policy does not permit pedestrians to run on any State Freeway, Expressway or
Toll Bridge facility. If Caltrans continues to adhere to this policy the applicants of Peace Run '91
will need to completely revise their proposed route. Until a satisfactory route has been finalized
this Department cannot adequately review the preliminary route along County maintained roads
