Street Limits Width-Feet Width-Feet JUMBRo Fuller James Avenue to Hemphill Street 40 55-60 Initiation of Project The 1973/75 Capital Improvement Program (Page A-25) provides for the construc- tion of a collector street to connect James Avenue and Hemphill Street by util- izing the general alignment of Fuller Street. This project is needed because of the lack of an adequate collector street south of Seminary Drive. The need for this facility has increased because of recent development at the South Freeway and Felix Street. The completion of this project will provide an improved collector street from James Avenue to the South Freeway and east to Loop 820. Improvements The above portion of Fuller Street will be improved by resurfacing the existing street from James Avenue to Fifth Avenue and by construction of new collector grade hot-mix asphaltic concrete pavement with concrete curb and gutter, con- crete driveway approaches and required storm drain facilities from Fifth Avenue to Hemphill Street.
