I don't have any idea why you call it "I90"; it is a state route, not an
Interstate. 

Anyway, I'm here at the *other* end of Ca-90 (aka Imperial Highway at this
end), pretty near the Richard M. Nixon Library and Birthplace in Yorba
Linda.  There is an even shorter section of freeway here, about 1-2 miles.

Once it was meant to connect with the section in Marina del Rey, and that
explains the Richard M. Nixon reference.  To explain the name, you need to
look to the *other* end of the (proposed) freeway.
