SUBJECT
(CD 9 and CD 11) Adopt Resolution Physically Closing a Portion of East 9th Street at the Union Pacific Railroad Between Harding Street and
Pecan Street to Formalize a Physical Closure of the Right -of -Way
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution physically closing a portion of East 9th Street at the Union Pacific Railroad
between Harding Street and Pecan Street to formalize a physical closure of the right-of-way.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation and Public Works (TPW) Department has requested physical closure of motor vehicle traffic of a portion of East 9th Street that
has been closed to vehicular traffic since 2011 when the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) put barriers within their right-of-way to block traffic during
the Tower 55 project. The closure will formalize the action of physically closing the road by City Council action. The City Plan Commission reviewed
the request at their meeting on October 23, 2024, and recommended approval of the requested closure.
The City reserves the right, at the sole discretion of the City Council, to reopen by resolution the aforesaid street at any time by directing the
removal of any barricade or other means of closure.
TPW will be responsible for the installation of the permanent barricades to physically close the road.
This portion of East 9th Street is in COUNCIL DISTRICTS (9 and 11).
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 have no material effect on City funds.
