MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROGER NELSON, CITY MANAGER
✓
MEETING DATE: APRIL 2, 2002
SUBJECT: STREET NAME DESIGNATION / STONE MYERS PARKWAY
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council consider adopting an Ordinance amending Chapter 20, Section 20-7,
Streets, Sidewalks and other Public Ways, Street Name Changes of the Code of
Ordinances to establish the name for the east / west cross street beneath SH 121 and
SH 360 as a continuation of Stone Myers Parkway, authorize staff to erect the
necessary signs, and take any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
Stone Myers Parkway currently begins at SH 360 Northbound Frontage Road and
extends northeast to Patriot Parkway. Extending from its intersection with SH 360 is an
unnamed roadway that serves as a cross street between the southbound SH 121
Frontage Road and the northbound SH 360 Frontage Road (see attached map).
Motorists driving on SH 360 and on SH 121 have difficulty finding Stone Myers Parkway
since there is no advanced signage indicating the presence of this street on the highway
system. TxDOT has advised us that they can install additional signs on their system
noting Stone Myers Parkway if the unnamed segment beneath the highway main lanes
is also named Stone Myers Parkway.
Staff recommends approval.
