MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER �I
MEETING DATE: MAY 16, 2006
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER THOROUGHFARE PLAN —
WALL STREET
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting an ordinance amending the City of Grapevine Master
Thoroughfare Plan, as amended in its entirety by Ordinance No. 2004-78, to reflect the
reduction in classification of Wall Street between Main Street and Texan Trail from a
Type E* Collector, to a Type F Collector, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
Wall Street was initially established as a Type E Collector in the City Master
Thoroughfare Plan adopted by the City Council on March 17, 1987 by Ordinance
No. 87-15. Subsequent to that time, Council adopted modifications to the City Master
Thoroughfare Plan which included the reduction of the right-of-way width from 75 feet to
65 feet and reduction of the driving lane width from 12 feet to 11 feet to lessen the
impact on the surrounding properties.
On December 7, 2004, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2004-78 which established
a new Master Thoroughfare Plan reflecting the Type E* Collector Designation for Wall
Street.
Traffic volumes on the roadway between Main Street and Texan Trail have remained
somewhat consistent over the past few years in the range of 900 to 1,300 vehicles per
day (VPD). Based on this traffic trend, staff feels that the classification of the roadway
can be further reduced to a Type F Collector. This roadway requires only 41 feet of
pavement width compared to 51 feet in the Type E* and also reduces the right-of-way
needs to 60 feet from 65 feet.
This reduction in pavement section will provide a roadway similar in width and
appearance to Dooley Street north of Dove Loop. The width will allow for parking on
one side of the roadway while maintaining the ability for two opposing vehicles to pass
safely.
Staff recommends approval.
