DISCUSSION
The Transportation and Public Works Department (T/PW) for the City of Fort Worth is requesting the
physical closure of IVE 32nd Street at this location in order to eliminate this low water crossing for public
safety reasons It is anticipated that the physical closure of this low water crossing will contribute to public
safety by reducing the likelihood of drowning due to attempts to cross during periods of flood conditions.
The Engineering Department has evaluated this project and recommends closure finding that: the existing
traffic volumes are sufficiently low to allow the closing of the street and the proposed closure is not
anticipated to impact transit service Reviewing City Departments expressed no issues with this request and
recommended approval to the City Plan Commission who in turn recommended approval at its public
hearing held on May 25 2005
This request is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
