History of Street
Wilbarger Street ,tiiSinally was a county. type road. In 1952, that portion of
Wilbarger Street'-from Miller Avenue to Shackleford Street was completely
improved under a developers contract with pavement (penetration asphalt surface
on gravel base) , concrete curb and gutter, concrete driveways, and four foot
wide concrete sidewalk, from Miller Avenue to Vaughn Boulevard. In 1957, the
remaining portion of Wilbarger Street was improved with penetration asphalt
surface on a gravel base only, for which abutting property owners were assessed.
eighty cents ($ .80) per front foot. There are also some scattered curb and
driveways along this portion of the street which was constructed at the pro-
perty owners' expense. The existing pavement is approximately thirty feet
wide in a forty-seven foot right-of-way.
Based on the above, it is proposed that this project be designated as a Recon-
struction Project and abutting property owners be assessed in accordance with
normal reconstruction policies for non-existing concrete curb and gutter, drive-
ways and sidewalk and for the cost of the pavement widening adjacent to commer-
cial property.
