Honorable Mayor and Re: Requested Closing of a
Members of the City Council Portion of Sixth Street
City of Fort Worth East of Pecan Street
Mrs. McKnight and Gentlemen:
A request has been received to close a portion of East Sixth Street
between Pecan Street and the G.C. & S.F. Railroad. The purpose of this
request is to consolidate commercial property and to provide a clear title
for property exchange.
The Public Works, Traffic .Engineering and Planning Departments have investi-
gated this request and find no objections to the closing. A major portion
of Sixth Street has been included in right-of-way for State Highway No.
280. The Highway Department has advised that the residue of Sixth Street
is not needed for highway construction. All municipal and private utility
companies have approved the requested closing provided a ten foot easement
is reserved for the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company service line.
It is recommended that an ordinance be adopted for closing a portion of
Sixth Street between Pecan Street and the G.C. & S.F. Railroad, south of
State Highway No. 280.
Respectfully submitted,
