Subject:
Joint Meeting - South Grapevine Corridor
We felt the need to provide the City Council a bit of information about tonight's joint City
Council meeting with the City of Richland Hills. The purpose of the meeting is for Jet
Powered' Group to present both City Councils with their recommendations and the
recommendations of the Joint Oversight Committee regarding plans for the South Grapevine
Corridor. Staff is not seeking any adoption or final action on the part of the City Council.
There is another scheduled joint meeting of both City Councils on August 16th. At this next
meeting it may be more appropriate to take official action on some of the recommendations.
The presentations tonight are going to focus on several issues. One is the recommendation
for the naming of the corridor, or a theme. Another recommendation will be related to
streetscapes, or a look at what the cities will try to achieve over time. Finally, a
recommendation will be placed on the table for the renaming of South Grapevine Highway.
This last issue has the potential to be the most difficult. As you will see, it will be for this
reason that we recommend that no final action be taken at the meeting tonight.
One thing the consultants need and are seeking at tonight's meeting is a general consensus
to proceed because the next step in the process involves the preparation of very expensive
drawings and presentation materials. Assuming the green light is given to proceed, these
materials will be ready for presentation at the next joint meeting.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. at the Richland Hills City Hall. Food will be
provided. Please feel free to call in advance of the meeting if you have any questions or
concerns.
Respectfully Submitted,
L~n~am
