Fundraiser – Signs

Our first big fundraiser is for a batch of signs for our sign projects in the Imperial Valley covering El Centro, Imperial, Brawley, and Westmoreland. This project will work to get these signs posted through those towns and we will need your help. After reviewing cost estimates from various companies, we will be ordering 10 12×18 Historic Route 99 signs from Zumar. Our fundraising goal is $475 for these signs, which will eventually be posted as they get approved. If you wish to donate to this campaign, please use the link below or send a check to:

Historic Highway 99 Association of California
PO BOX 34062
San Diego, CA 92163

Thank you for your support!

Total As of 5/3/2021 – $430

Previously raised funds went to the 04IMP21001 – Calexico portion of the project

Upcoming Projects

With the holidays and lockdowns in place, starting our projects will unfortunately be a bit slow. Come 2021 however, things will shift into “high gear” and we will be pressing various projects forward. Right now, we are focusing on smaller projects, partly to get started and see how it goes, mostly to make solid progress sooner than later. With that in mind, here is a list of projects we are planning to start in the first half of 2021:

Signing
Fundraising efforts will be needed for each project

Calexico – 04IMP21001 – Replace existing faded signage at the END / BEGIN point of US 99

Banning / Beaumont – 04RIV21001 – Implement new signage along 6th St (Beaumont) and Ramsey St (Banning). Possibly work with Caltrans to get signage at end interchanges (I-10 Exit 93 and I-10 Exit 102).

Ontario – 04SBD21001 – Implement new signage along Holt Ave between Benson Ave and I-10 Exit 55A.

New PO BOX

Thanks to a generous and unexpected donation last night, we were able to purchase a PO Box this morning. Now we have an address, which is quite helpful.
