City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication DATE: 08/12/25 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 25-0685 LOG NAME: 20STREET NAME CHANGE — WEST FREEWAY SR WB SUBJECT (CD 9) Adopt an Ordinance Changing the Name of a Portion of West Freeway Service Road Westbound between Ballinger Street and Henderson Street to Rio Grande Avenue RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance changing the name of a portion of West Freeway Service Road westbound between Ballinger Street and Henderson Street to Rio Grande Avenue. DISCUSSION: The Fort Worth Fire Department recommends renaming a portion of the westbound West Freeway Service Road, between Ballinger Street and Henderson Street, to Rio Grande Avenue. Part of this segment lies within the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) right-of-way, and TxDOT has expressed support for the proposed change through City ordinance. The Fire Department believes this renaming will help reduce potential confusion and mitigate difficulties for emergency response vehicles when locating addresses in the area. Currently, there are no reported issues with emergency response. The proposed renaming will affect two adjacent lots currently being developed by the same company. Rio Grande Avenue is a two-lane asphalt street located within the Fort Worth city limits. While the street signs will be updated to reflect the new name, the existing block ranges will remain the same. All future plats within this block range will reference the new street name, Rio Grande Avenue. Notices to the affected property owners were mailed on July 22, 2025. Residents and businesses were invited to attend the City Council meeting on August 5, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. to express an opinion relative to the proposed street name change. The street name change will take effect on August 22, 2025. The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9. 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.
