LOG NAME: 2020TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF OAK GROVE ROAD BETWEEN JOEL EAST ROAD
SUBJECT
To authorize the Temporary Closure of Oak Grove Road between Joel East Road and Albertsons Driveway from April 8, 2020 through June 8,
2020 for Complete Reconstruction (COUNCIL DISTRICT 8)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council authorize the temporary closure of Oak Grove Road between Joel East Road to 2,300 feet South from April 8,
2020 through June 8, 2020 for complete roadway reconstruction.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW) requests the closure of Oak Grove Road between Joel East Road to
2,300 feet South from April 8, 2020 through June 8, 2020 on behalf of the Developer, BTC III Carter Logistics Center, LLC, (CFA 19-0150, CSC
52927) for complete roadway reconstruction based on the Developer's Contractor's project schedule (City Project No. 102226). Presently this
section of Oak Grove Road is a 30-foot wide asphalt roadway. The proposed scope of work is to demolish all existing pavement, add water and
sewer lines, add storm sewer, add street lights, and reconstruct Joel East Road with reinforced concrete paving. Due to the scope of work and the
impact of large equipment needed to do this work and in the interests of project expediency and public safety this closure is requested.
This closure request is anticipated to have minimal impact to roadway users as an alternate route has been identified via Joel East Road, Will
Rogers Boulevard, and John Burgess Drive. Property directly abutting Oak Grove Road between Joel East Road and 2,300 feet south is largely
unimproved; however, access is available via the detour route.
Traffic control plans for this project have been accepted.
This road closure is located in Council District 8, Mapsco 105C.
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 this action will have no material effect on City funds.
