Because of the concerns of the adjacent property owners along the existing Jo n T.
White Road from Loop 820 to Randol Mill Road, it is proposed that a divided roadway
of 26 feet on each side with a median of 28 feet centered in the middle of the
120 foot right-of-way be built in lieu of the original proposed single 36-foot
roadway.
Recommendations
It is recommended that a double 26-foot lane roadway with a 28-foot median be
designed for John T. White Road on a 120-foot right-of-way.
Legality
All relevant Department of Law comments on this matter were submitted by letter
to the Mayor and Council dated March 26, 1979.
Fiscal Note
If this recommendation is adopted by the Council, subsequent authorization will
be required to transfer available funds into the appropriate
construction project and to allot previously authorized but unallotted funds.
City Manager's Comments
The double 26-foot roadway based on a 28-foot median will initially cost the City
approximately $800,000 more than a single 36-foot roadway. Flexibility in design
of the roadway is needed on both the west end and the east end of the project to
allow for future development. A preliminary street layout will be furnished to the
City Council plainly showing the proposed plan before final design plans are
implemented.
As of March 23, 1979 (I.R. No. 3283), a total of $349,800 is available in 901
unspecified account from the 1975 bond issue for thoroughfares. There is also a
total of $671,000 set aside for the Craig Street project which the City Council
deleted from the Capital Improvement Program on July 25, 1978 (MSC G-3880) . These
funds are available for allocation depending upon future Council action. The
