WILKE$ AFr
Mr. Gordon Swift, on behalf of the Odom Road Committee,and with the support
of the Aviation Board and the Planning Commission, has submitted a petition
requesting a street name change of Odom Road and Irving Street to Meacham
Boulevard. The petition contains the signatures of (1) the property owners
abutting the existing Odom Road between Deen Road and Sylvania Avenue (2)
the property owners abutting Irving Street from Blue Mound Road eastward to
the Fort Worth and Denver Railroad (3) property owners which will abut the
Future East/West Thoroughfare to be designated as Meacham Boulevard, lying
between North Main Street and Blue Mound Road, between Fort Worth and Denver
Railroad and Deen Road, And between Sylvania Avenue and North Beach Street.
The affected property owners have been notified of this proposed street name
change. The Police, Fire, Traffic, Public Works, and Water Departments of
the City and the Postmaster - have reviewed this request and have no objections.
The State Department of Highways and Public Transportation stated that the
five large highways signs at Odom Road and Interstate Highway 35 West would
cost $2500 to replace at this time.
History
Thoroughfare plans for years have shown the need for a major thoroughfare to
connect Meacham Field with the North Freeway in line with the present -Odom
Road.
Design Problems
The proposed Meacham Boulevard will cross a major railroad switching area which
will mean an overpass and could involve considerable span length and height
because of the railroad's needs for clearance for sight distance.
Recommendation
It is recommended that an ordinance be adopted changing the street name of
Odom Road, from Deen Road to Sylvania Avenue,plus the unopened portion between
Sylvania Avenue and Beach Street and Irving Street from Blue Mound Road to the
Fort Worth and Denver Railroad to Meacham Boulevard.
