Assemblymember Dawn Addis, D-Morro Bay, authored a resolution to rename a four-mile portion of Highway 46 the James Byron Dean Memorial Highway.

Addis said she was inspired to author Assembly Concurrent Resolution 101, introduced June 24, in part to reinvent the notorious roadway while recognizing Dean’s contributions to arts and film in the 1950s.
