improvements to South Main Street as a primary catalyst for the village's revitalization and
WHEREAS, the Evans and Rosedale Urban Village Master Plan Evans and Rosedale Area
Design Standards and Guidelines, and Near Southside Development Standards and Guidelines all
recommend context-sensitive street improvements to Rosedale Street as a revitalization catalyst for the
Evans and Rosedale area and the Near Southside and
WHEREAS, these improvements would include the widening of sidewalks the installation of
roadside trees and pedestrian lights on-street parking spaces, and curb extensions or 'bulb-outs" at
intersections and
WHEREAS, to accelerate the revitalization of the South Main Urban Village the City is willing to
assume responsibilities related to South Main Street's maintenance and improvement as soon as such
an agreement is executed and
WHEREAS, to allow for the removal of South Main Street and Rosedale Street from the
highway system and to facilitate future context-sensitive improvements to South Main Street and
Rosedale Street that would normally not be permitted on a designated highway the City has already
worked with TxDOT to reach agreement on an alternate alignment for U S Highway 287 (Business
