Street Limits Width-Feet Width-Feet Ramey Avenue Stalcup Road 40 60 to IH--820 The 1973 Capital Improvements Program (Page A-143) provides for the reconstruction of Ramey Avenue. Upon completion of this project, Ramey Avenue will be complete as a collector street from Miller Avenue to IH-820. Improvements This project is the continuation of a project improved under the 1°Collector Street" program. The previous sections of Ramey Avenue from Miller Avenue through the Stalcup Road intersection were im- proved with 7" hot--mix asphaltic concrete pavement on a 6" lime stabilized subgrade. Therefore, the following paving section alter- nates were requested in the bids to cgincide with the previous sec- tions of Ramey Avenue and previous reconstruction projects: 1) Alternate No. 1, consisting of 71° hot-mix asphaltic concrete pavement on a 6" lime stabilized subgrade; and 2) Alternate No. 2, consisting of 2" hot-mix asphaltic concrete pavement on a 7" lime and cement stabilized base on a 6" lime stabilized subgrade. Improvements will include the removal of existing defective con- crete curb, gutter and driveway approaches and construction of 7" high concrete curb and 2' wide concrete gutter with 6`° thick concrete driveways as replacements and where none presently exist, and con- struction of storm drainage facilities and other miscellaneous appur- tenances. Sidewalks are also included in this project to tie in with existing sidewalk from the west at Stalcup Road and existing sidewalk adjacent to Dunbar High School. Sidewalks are required to serve pedestrian traffic generated by Rosedale Park Elementary School, Dunbar High School, Bunche Park and Nleadowbrook Village Apartments.

Total construction, inspection engineering and administrative salaries and miscellaneous costs to the City will be approximately $107,710 based on Paving Alternate No. 1.

Procedures concerning proposed improvements, owner participation in costs and methods of payment were explained by Odell Schmidt to the four persons in attendance. Mr. Franklin Moss, 5645 Ramey, owner of Lot 19-R, Block 22, Rosedale Park Addition, objected to the sidewalk. He stated that sidewalk on the resident- ial side of the street would draw undesirable pedestrians to that area and cause many problems. He had no objection to sidewalk on the park side of the street. Mr. ,Tames Washington, 5649 Ramey, owner of Lot 18-R, Block 22, Rosedale Park Addition, asked about the difference in charges for residential and apartment zoning. Mr. Schmidt explained this to him. After a short general discussion, the meeting was adjourned. FORT WORTH, TEXAS July 23 1973 TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT WORTH, TEXAS.
