FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 15, 2016
SUBJECT: HUDGINS STREET EXTENSION PRESENTATION
The North Central Texas Council of Governments granted the City $567,000 during the
2009-2010 Sustainable Developments Call for Projects to put towards projects that
enhance transit oriented development. The Hudgins Street extension will create a
pedestrian walking trail through the museum district to Nash Farm. While this project
has been in the works for some time, it was stalled due to the need to focus on
rebuilding the Lake Parks after the recent floods.
Earlier this year, staff briefed City Council on plans for this project. Subsequently, staff
met with residents in the adjacent neighborhood who have expressed concerns. These
concerns include: the intersection at Church Street, West Hudgins and Ira E. Woods,
the need for a full roadway between Bellaire and Church Street, the width of the
proposed eight -foot pedestrian sidewalk, and the lack of a signalized crossing from
Hudgins across Ball Street.
Staff will present some options for you to consider in light of the above requests.
