Agenda Item #.##
Public Works Engineering: Consider a resolution to cooperate with the Texas
Department of Transportation to coordinate the conversion of a portion of a
certain State Highway to a city street and the conversion of a portion of a certain
city street to a State Highway.
Item Summary
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has requested the City of
Lubbock to consider the conversion of Business U.S. 87 (Ave. A) and a portion of
F.M. 835 (east 34th Street) to a city street and in return would accept a portion of
50th Street as a State Highway. The limits of the conversions would be as
follows:
Street proposed for removal from State Highway system:
Business U.S. 87 (Ave. A) — from east right of way line of I.H. 27 proceeding north
to the south right of way line of U.S. 82 (Marsha Sharp Freeway).
F.M. 835 (east 34th Street) — northern terminus of Spur 331 proceeding north and
west to the east right of way line of Business U.S. 87 (Ave. A).
Street proposed to go on State Highway system:
50th Street (F.M. 835) —from the east right of way line of I.H. 27 proceeding east
to the junction of Spur 331 and F.M. 835.
TxDOT has agreed to place directional signage on I.H. 27 for Buffalo Springs
Lake and Lake Ransom Canyon as part of the conversion. The term of the
resolution is 120 days.
Fiscal Impact
The City will assume an additional 78,155 square yards of pavement structure to
be maintained as part of this conversion with the estimated annualized cost (in
today's dollars) for the increased street maintenance of $50,500. The cost will be
made a part of the City's overall Street Maintenance Plan as maintenance is
needed on these segments.
TxDOT recommends approval of this resolution.
