RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council adopt the attached ordinance amending Chapter 22 "Motor Vehicles and Traffic," Article III "Operation of
Vehicles," Section 22-86 "Speeding," Subsection (i) of the Code of the City of Fort Worth, Texas (2015), as Amended, to change the roadway
limits, block ranges and speed limits of certain speed zones specifically, to change the designation of IH-30 (East Freeway) from Clover Lane to
East City Limits to Main Street to East City Limits, to change the designation of IH-30 (West Freeway) to Main Street to West Fort Worth City
Limits, to change block ranges and establish speed limits.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to amend the city code of ordinances to reflect the correct extents, block ranges,
and speed limits for IH-30 a/k/a East and West Freeways. Currently, the city code designates Clover Lane as the divider between East and West
Freeway; however, Main Street is the actual dividing line, as confirmed by the Fire Department and a review of historical records. In addition, block
range corrections are needed for all East and West Freeway segments and a speed limit adjustment is needed for West Freeway to establish 65
MPH on the segment from Clover Lane to Longvue Ave (RM 2871).
This M&C does not change posted speed limits on East and West Freeway and no additional signage is required.
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 this recommendation will not have any material effect on City Funds.
