Mr. Nix stated there was a pathway on the east side of Rufe Snow and asked that the City put down crush rock so the children would have some place to walk when it was muddy. Mr. Nix stated they pleaded for the Council's consideration for sidewalks on these streets. Councilman Metts stated that perhaps some of the sidewalks had been left off by previous developers and asked Mr. Nix if he had checke~ into that.

Mr. Dauer urged the Council to look at the area and advised that he did leave a tape of the area with the City Secretary.

Mr. Roseborrough stated that Little Ranch Road was used by the children going to school. Mr. Roseborrough stated that something needed to be done to get the kids off the street. Mr. Roseborrough asked if an easement could be granted for a walkway on Little Ranch Road. October 24, 1988 Page 4 Mr. Albert G. McDaniel, IV, 6736 Starnes Road, appeared before the Council. Mr. McDaniel stated that his child had to go down Crosstimbers to school and because there was no place to walk they had to drive him. Mr. McDaniel stated he felt that by having to drive the children to school, he was adding to the traffic congestion at the school. Mr. McDaniel stated there was a problem with cars parking on both sides of Crosstimbers which also made it dangerous for the children who used that street. Councilman Sibbet asked if no parking during school hours signs could be placed on Crosstimbers. Mr. Line stated the parking situation on Cross timbers was looked at some months ago because the people could not receive their mail because of the cars being parked there. Mr. Line stated staff would check into the parking situation and see if something could not be done. Mr. Line stated he had talked to Councilman Garvin concerning the children walking in the area and he was also very concerned. Mr. Line stated the staff was checking into making Little Ranch Road a one way street. Mr. Line stated the entire area needed to be looked at and staff would look into it and report back to the Council by November 14th. Mayor Brown advised the City would be looking into the situation and get back with Mr. Nix and others.
