RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 Authorize the amendment of the Transportation and Community and System Preservation (TCSP)
grant received through the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) from the Federal Highway
Administration by reducing it in the amount of $306,500, and
2. Authorize the City Manager to accept a grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in
the amount of $306,500, and
3 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing the estimated receipts and appropriations in
the Grants Fund by $306,500
DISCUSSION
On May 2, 2000 (M&C G-12904), the City Council authorized the City Manager to accept a TCSP grant
from the FHWA in the amount of $1,306,500 for improvements to portions of the North Main and Berry
Street corridors, and for a study of central city commercial corridors The M&C also authorized the City
Manager to enter into a grant agreement with TxDOT for use of the TCSP funds
FHWA, TxDOT, and City staff recommend that the City contract directly with the FHWA, rather than
TxDOT, for the use of a portion of the TCSP grant in the amount of $306,500 to conduct the corridor
planning study The City will contract with TxDOT for use of the remaining $1,000,000 in TCSP grant
funds for public improvements to North Main Street ($400,000) and Berry Street ($600,000)
The City will use the $306,500 to hire a consultant to prepare conceptual redevelopment plans for five
high-priority commercial corridors, and to partially fund a staff position for two years to implement the
corridor plans. The five high-priority corridors recommended by the Commercial Corridors Task Force
and approved by the City Council include East Rosedale Street, East Lancaster Avenue, Hemphill
Street, West Seventh Street, and Camp Bowie Boulevard
