request
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
The City of Lewisville’s Master Thoroughfare Plan currently indicates Railroad Street from Corporate Drive to SH 121 Business as a local street. However, this section of Railroad Street is a 37-foot wide, 60-foot right-of-way roadway which serves the function of a collector street that connects to two major thoroughfares i.e. SH 121 Business and Corporate Drive. All the abutting properties are commercial and industrial properties. The Transportation Board considered this item during the June 18, 2019 meeting and voted to recommend changing the designation of Railroad Street from Corporate Drive to SH 121 Business to a 2-lane undivided collector street with 60-foot right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the amendment as set forth in the caption above.
