Route 76: Payómkawish Highway.
- Designates portions of Route 76 in San Diego County as the Payómkawish Highway to honor Luiseño heritage.
- Requires the Department of Transportation to install special designation signs along the highway.
- Mandates that all signage costs must be covered by donations from non-state sources.
- Recognizes the 10,000-year history of Luiseño people's connection to the San Luis Rey Valley region.
Assemblymember Davies' legislation to designate portions of Route 76 in San Diego County as the "Payómkawish Highway" recognizes the historical significance of this thoroughfare to the Luiseño people, who have inhabited the San Luis Rey Valley region for over 10,000 years.
The measure designates two segments of Route 76 for the special naming: from Sengme Oaks Road to Rincon Rancho Road, and from Pauma Reservation Road to Pankey Road. These sections traverse areas that once served as seasonal migration paths for the Luiseño people between coastal regions and inland territories, including the location of Topomai, historically the largest documented Luiseño village, now part of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
The Department of Transportation will determine costs for installing highway signs displaying the Payómkawish designation. Installation will proceed once sufficient private donations are secured to cover all associated expenses, with no state funds allocated for the project. The signs must conform to existing state highway system standards and specifications.
