SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Requesting the Texas Transportation Commission to Remove East Rosedale
Street between IH 35W and Riverside Drive from the US/State Highway System
m~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution requesting the Texas
Transportation Commission to remove East Rosedale Street between IH 35W and Riverside Drive from the
US/State Highway System
DISCUSSION
The subject segment of East Rosedale Street is currently designated on the US/State Highway System as
Business 287 The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is currently in the design phase for
reconstruction of the roadway to a six-lane divided arterial under a 50/50% cost participation agreement
with the City
The consensus of the neighborhood is to have a more pedestrian and development friendly street with
parking in the outside lanes Federal and State regulations require that the reconstruction be for increased
capacity and would not allow conversion of the outside lanes to parking on a US designated
highway Therefore City staff recommends that the City ask the Texas Transportation Commission to
transfer the street segment from the US/State Highway System to the City of Fort Worth after completion of
the reconstruction project. The City would then have control of operations on the street and could convert
the outside lanes to parking
The City already provides all maintenance on East Rosedale Street. Therefore the removal of the street
segment from the US/State Highway System would not affect the City's maintenance and operations costs
HISTORY
On November 27 1990 (M&C G-8922) City Council adopted a resolution accepting State Department of
Highways and Public Transportation Commission Minute Order 90823 The Minute Order provides for the
improvement of East Rosedale Street from IH 35W to US 287 under a 50/50% cost sharing arrangement
