Veterans’ Designation Sought for Highway
Ventura County Supervisor Kathy Long is proposing to designate the entire length of California 126 as the “Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway.”
A portion of the highway, from Fillmore to the Golden State Freeway, already carries the designation. But a war veterans’ group wants to extend the recognition west to the highway’s intersection with the Ventura Freeway in Ventura.
Long agreed, but supervisors must unanimously back the proposal before it can go back before the Legislature for approval. Long said the highway would still officially be called the Santa Paula-Fillmore Freeway.
