Route 76: Payómkawish Highway.
- Designates portions of Route 76 in San Diego County as the Payómkawish Highway to honor Luiseño cultural heritage.
- Requires the Department of Transportation to install special designation signs along the highway.
- Mandates that all signage costs must be covered by non-state donations before installation.
- Recognizes a historic pathway used by Luiseño people for over 10,000 years.
Assembly Member Davies proposes designating portions of Route 76 in San Diego County as the "Payómkawish Highway," recognizing the historical pathway's significance to the Luiseño people who have inhabited the San Luis Rey Valley for over 10,000 years. The designation would apply to two segments: from Sengme Oaks Road to Rincon Rancho Road, and from Pauma Reservation Road to Pankey Road.
The California Department of Transportation would determine costs for installing signs marking these designated segments. Installation would proceed once nonstate sources provide sufficient donations to cover the expenses. The signs must conform to state highway system requirements while maintaining Route 76's current endpoints from Route 5 near Oceanside to Route 79 near Lake Henshaw.
According to the bill's findings, the area encompassing Route 76 served as a seasonal migration route for the Luiseño people between the valley and coastline. Their territory included sections of present-day northwestern San Diego County, with the largest recorded Luiseño village, Topomai, located just north of Oceanside on what is now Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
