Origin of Project
The 1976-67 Capital Improvement Program (Pages A-14 and A-15) provides for
the upgrading and widening of Yeager Street by constructing a collector
grade roadway from just south of Meadowbrook Drive to East Lancaster Avenue.
The new roadway will provide access to Eastern Hills High School and provide
for north-south vehicular movement in the Meadowbrook Sector.
Improvements
Yeager Street is presently a thin asphalt 30-feet wide roadway. Improvements
will include construction of a 36-feet wide collector grade roadway of hot-mix
asphaltic concrete pavement with concrete curb, gutter and driveway approaches.
Also included will be 5-feet wide concrete sidewalks, constructed adjacent
to the curb on both sides of the street for the length of the project, to pro-
vide for pedestrian traffic to Eastern Hills High School on the north and the
library and commercial establishments on the south. Storm drainage facilities
will include. approximately 1,055 feet of reinforced concrete culvert pipe and
appurtenances.

allotted:
Bidder Amount
Texas Bitulithic Company $468,966.43

Assessments:

standards in the past, is improved and widened, residentially-zoned property
is assessed only for curb, gutter and driveway approaches where none presently
exist. Property zoned other than residential is assessed for non-existing
curb, gutter and driveway approaches plus pavement widening. In the case of
Yeager Street, property zoned other than residential is being assessed for
3-feet of pavement widening on each side of the street.
