A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS; REQUESTING CONSIDERATION
BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, TO AUTHORIZE
CONSTRUCTION AND DEDICATE FUNDS FOR AN
INTERCHANGE ON FARM-TO-MARKET HIGHWAY 2499;
��, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, a delegation of local officials appeared before the
°� Highway Commission in 1982, after the bridge on Farm-to-Market
Highway 2499 had been washed out by high water, requesting
construction of Farm-to-Market Highway 2499 on alternate route to
avoid Lake Grapevine Dam; and
WHEREAS, a meeting was held expressing unanimous support for
Farm-to-Market Highway 2499 as the Chairman noted, and Minute
Order 80238 , November 29, 1982 (see attached) was tendered,
authorizing planning and design subject to provisions of
Right-of-Way by local agencies; and
WHEREAS, all affected property owners donated Right-of-Way
for Farm-to-Market Highway 2499 including Right-of-Way for an
interchange at State Highway 121 in accordance with an agreed
interchange concept schematic; and
WHEREAS, the State Department of Highways and Public
Transportation completed the design, awarded the construction
contract, and currently has Farm-to-Market Highway 2499 under
construction, providing a high-capacity four-lane divided urban
thoroughfare with shoulders; and
,�.:::>
WHEREAS, the above construction is scheduled for completion
in late 1990 or early 1991 , but only includes temporary
"�`� connections to State Highway 121 rather than the full interchange
grade-separated connections; and
WHEREAS, opening day traffic flows on Farm-to-Market
Highway 2499 are expected to exceed the capacity of temporary
interchange connectors, thereby creating potential organization
and safety problems.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS:
Section 1 . That the City Council hereby requests the State
Department of Highways and Public Transportation to:
a. Accelerate the appropriate project designation and
design of the complete grade-separated interchange
connectors of Farm-to-Market Highway 2499 and
State Highway 121 in accordance with the agreed
concept schematic used in 1986 to establish
�e°� Right-of-Way requirements and obtain Right-of-Way
donations.
,�, b. Allocate adequate funding to construct the
complete interchange in a timely fashion to
accommodate anticipated traffic flows in a direct
and safe manner.
Section 2 . That this resolution shall take effect from and
after the date of its passage.
