NUM"R
5/24/71 C-1992 Improvement of Jarvis Street lot 2
City Council Action is requested on the project described below.
Project Description
Unit Street It units Roadway Width Feet "W Width Feet
1 Jarvis Street Lipscomb Street to 30 40
Hemphill Street
This street is presently unpaved and is located in an industrial zoned area,
which results in a large volume of truck traffic. In August of 1969, the
Telephone Company, owner of adjoining property, requested that the east
210 feet of Jarvis Street between Lipscomb Street and Hemphill Street be paved.
Subsequently, while preparing the plans for the paving of this section of
Jarvis Street, the Public Works Department contacted the Friscc Railroad
relative to removing the two spur tracks which run down this section of
Jarvis Street. In February of 1971, a representative of the Frisco Railroad
stated that the lead track in the center of Jarvis Street could be retired,
and recommended that the track be paved over.
As a result of drainage problems in this street, which required adjustments
to the storm sewer inlets, and the problem of the existing railroad spur
tracks, it became apparent that the entire block should be paved, rather than
just the east 210 feet as originally requested by the Telephone Company.
Therefore, it was determined that this project should be City initiated in
order to resolve all of these problems under one contract, and the plans and
specifications were prepared to pave the full block. Since the south spur
track in this section of Jarvis Street was not in use and had not been used
for several years, and since the Frisco Railroad had not furnished any sched-
ule or made any moves to readjust this track, it was decided that the plans
would indicate the removal of this south track along with the center track.
If the Frisco Railroad desires the south track to remain, it will be necessary
for this company to make adjustments in its alignment and grade to fit the
new street.
