DISCUSSION
The Transportation and Public Works Department (T/PW) requests the permanent closure of a portion of
the 200 block of West Bowie Street, east of St. Louis Avenue at the Union Pacific Railroad Company
(UPRR) tracks
In the spring of 2009 the JMSL Neighborhood Association requested that T/PW consider the closure of
this road to restrict the number of vehicles that drive through their neighborhood T/PW evaluated the
proposed closure and recommended that the street be closed since loss of this roadway access has no
adverse affect on traffic circulation in the area
T/PW submitted a permanent street closure application and on September 23 2009 the Plan Commission
unanimously approved the closure without public opposition (Case No VA-09-029) Under an agreement
with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) and the UPRR, TXDOT will reimburse the City's
expenses up $7 500 00 to close the railroad crossing to vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
