SUBJECT
Adopt Resolution to Physically Close a Portion of 30th Street Between Prairie Avenue and Roosevelt Avenue for an Ongoing Drainage Channel
Improvement Project for the City of Fort Worth (COUNCIL DISTRICT 2)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution to physically close a portion of 30th Street between Prairie Avenue and
Roosevelt Avenue for an ongoing drainage channel improvement project for the City of Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth has requested the physical closure of this portion of 30th Street to permit continuance of an ongoing drainage channel
improvement project. The City Plan Commission recommended approval of this request at its meeting on August 28, 2019.
The City of Fort Worth is seeking to improve the overall storm water mitigation in the area. The City will provide a cul-de-sac at the terminus of
Prairie Avenue to prevent a dead end street. The City will install gates that meet the requirements of the Transportation and Public Works
Department.
The City will retain title to the public right-of-way in the alley, retain any and all easements for existing and prospective utilities, and retain the right of
access at all times for the purpose of maintaining existing and prospective utility facilities and for emergency access.
The City reserves the right, at the sole discretion of the City Council, to reopen by resolution the street right-of-way to public travel at any time by
directing the removal of any barricade or other means of closure, and reconstruction of the roadway.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of these recommendations will have no material effect on City funds.
