SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Accepting Responsibility for the Jurisdiction Operation and Maintenance of Spur
347 between SH 199 and Grove Street
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution accepting responsibility for the
jurisdiction operation and maintenance of Spur 347 between SH 199 and Grove Street.
DISCUSSION
On March 28 2006 Council passed Resolution No 3327-03-2006 requesting the Texas Transportation
Commission to remove the subject segments of Belknap and Weatherford Streets (SH 199) from the State
Highway System to expedite Tarrant County Community Colleges construction of a bridge on Belknap
Street for a pedestrian way under Belknap as part of their planned Trinity Uptown campus The removal of
the segment of Belknap will significantly expedite the College s schedule because it will allow the College to
coordinate soley with the City for construction on the right-of-way
However staff was just notified that the Texas Transportation Commission can not pass the corresponding
Minute Order unless there is a resolution explicitly stating that the City will take over jurisdiction operation
and maintenance of the facility
The City already provides maintenance for Belknap and Weatherford Streets west of the BNSF Railroad
bridges Therefore the approval of the subject resolution will not add to City costs
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Finance Director certifies that this action will have no material effect on City Funds
