LOG NAME: 20SW PHASED TEMPORARY CLOSURES OF PRUITT STREET
SUBJECT
Authorize the Temporary Closure of Pruitt Street from 8th Avenue to 60 Feet East of 8th Avenue for Franchise Utility Relocation Activities from May
6, 2020 to May 31, 2020 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the temporary closure of Pruitt Street between 8th Avenue to 60 feet east of 8th Avenue for the
relocation of franchise utilities for Cook Children's Medical Center from May 6, 2020 to May 31, 2020.
DISCUSSION:
To prepare for a new Cook Children's Medical Center parking garage and medical office building, Linbeck Construction requests the temporary
closure of a section of Pruitt Street from 8th Avenue to 60 feet to the east of 8th Avenue from May 6, 2020 to May 31, 2020. This closure is
necessary to relocate Oncor electric lines, Charter Communication lines and AT&T telephone lines and to install new underground facilities to
include manholes, pull boxes, duct banks, and conduits. Placing these utilities underground will also help to enhance the planned parkway and
streetscape of 8th Avenue with increased lighting, trees, and wider sidewalks.
This road closure is located in Council District 9, Mapsco 76G.
Traffic control plans for this project have been accepted.
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 this action will have no material effect on City funds.
