It is proposed that the City Council authorize the initiation of a street name change of Coffey Avenue to
East Jewell Kelly Drive, from a point at East Seminary Drive to its terminus at Horton Road, Fort
Worth,Tarrant County, Texas.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth Development Department has been requested to initiate a street name change
proposal for Coffey Avenue in southeast Fort Worth. The Council District 8 office has been working
with Robyne Kelly and Shawn Buchanan to provide an appropriate recognition of Ms. Jewell Blanton
Kelly. Ms. Kelly has served 28 years at O.D. Wyatt High School and 46 years in the Fort Worth
Independent School District.
It is proposed to process a street name change application with the required public notice, conduct the
normal public hearing and consider the name change. The existing street(Coffey Avenue)that would
be renamed is adjacent to the O.D. Wyatt High School. Due to its close proximity to the campus Ms.
Kelly has served and the partnership in which the School District and the City have fostered, it is
believed this would be an appropriate location for a street in honor of her duty and service.
The approval of this Council Proposal would direct staff to initiate the street name change process and
require that no application fee be made.
LEGALITY:
The Law Department finds that this proposal is within the authority of the City Council.
FISCAL NOTE:
The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City funds. The normal
street name change application fee of$620 would not be collected. Since there are a limited number of
property owners along the subject street (Fort Worth ISD, City of Fort Worth, and federally owned
property) the costs associated with the required public notices would be minimal.
