I-5 Could Be Named For Fallen San Clemente Officer
Local group works with Assemblywoman Diane Harkey to name I-5 through San Clemente the Officer Richard T. Steed Memorial Highway. If approved by the Legislature, Caltrans would place signs along both sides of I-5 with two $2,500 signs funded by local groups. Steed, the department's only line of duty death in San Clemente, was killed on November 29, 1978 while aiding a medical call.
