BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 3, 2013
SUBJECT: PARKING RESTRICTION ON DALLAS ROAD EAST OF TEXAN
TRAIL
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of an ordinance amending the Grapevine Code of
Ordinances Chapter 23 Traffic, Article V Parking, prohibiting parking on Dallas Road
from Texan Trail to its east terminus, and take any necessary action.
WATSIX111-T.-T911172 o
The extension of Dallas Road east of Texan Trail is currently being reconstructed by the
adjacent property owners, and it is planned to be accepted by the City as a public street
following its completion. Prior to the reconstruction, this section served as a private
driveway providing access to the industrial uses to the north, as well as to gas wells on
DFW Airport property to the east. It will also provide access to the proposed Oncor
electrical substation in the future.
The attached exhibit illustrates the location.
In the past, commercial vehicles were frequently observed to be parked on this driveway
section east of Texan Trail. The new roadway section is not sufficiently wide enough to
safely allow on- street parking of any kind. Therefore, staff recommends that this
ordinance be adopted to prohibit parking on both sides of the new extension of Dallas
Road east of Texan Trail.
Following completion of the construction and acceptance of the roadway by the City,
staff will post signs along the subject segment as appropriate.
Staff recommends approval.
