It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to provide a means whereby the Departments of Water Resources, Parks and Recreation, Fish and Game, and General Services, of the State of California, may acquire by purchase, gift, grant, bequest, devise, lease, condemnation or otherwise, the fee or any lesser interest or right in real property in order to protect, preserve, maintain, improve, restore, limit the future use of, or otherwise conserve for public use and enjoyment any of the lands and areas, identified below, alongside the Westside Freeway, Interstate Route 5, and the California Aqueduct, which have significant scenic values:
(a) Between the California Aqueduct and the Westside Freeway from Highway 41 north to Milham Avenue.
(b) Between the California Aqueduct and the Westside Freeway from Ness Avenue north to Pioneer Road.
(c) Between the California Aqueduct, the Westside Freeway and the Delta-Mendota Canal from Cottonwood Road north to the freeway-aqueduct crossing at Orestimba Creek, and between the aqueduct and freeway north of that point to the Alameda County line.
The Department of Transportation may acquire scenic easements along said Westside Freeway, provided that funds for such easements are obtained pursuant to the provisions of Section 319 of Title 23 of the United States Code relating to the purchase of interests in lands adjacent to highway rights-of-way, provided further that the federal government reimburses the state for the costs of such scenic easements, and also provided that the use of money for this purpose will not reduce the amount of funds which would otherwise be available to the state for highway purposes.
