DISCUSSION:
Pacheco Koch Consulting Engineers, on behalf of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, has
requested the vacation of Warren Street and a portion of Martin Lydon Avenue and the closure of portion
of Gambrell Avenue at the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) railroad crossing to further
secure their campus. Transportation and Public Works Department will be working with BNSF railroad to
close the Gambrell Street crossing to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Railway will contribute $23,500.00 toward the costs to close the street. The City Plan Commission
recommended approval of this request at its meeting on August 22, 2012. An acceptable replat (FS -012-
059) has been received.
The City of Fort Worth originally obtained the above mentioned rights -of -way through the platting process.
The City does not own land under or adjacent to the above referenced streets. Since no City funds have
been expended to purchase property or easement rights, collection of the fair market value or any portion
thereof is recommended by Staff to be waived.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
