RESOLUTION NO. 95-24
WHEREAS, the Director of Transportation at the North Central Texas Council of
Governments has signed an administrative amendment to the 1995 Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) authorizing the Texas Department of Transportation
(TXDOT) to complete preliminary engineering of the future LH. 820 widening project
(from LH. 35W to S.H. 26); and
WHEREAS, this action will expedite Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
review of the project, which is necessary for TXDOT and the City of North Richland
Hills to proceed on the design and construction of the Rufe Snow and Meadow Lakes
bridges over Loop 820; and
WHEREAS, over the coming weeks, TXDOT's consulting engineers will
complete the Loop 820 project's design and decide where to take related right-of-way.
Since TXDOT officials anticipate needing 50 feet of new right-of-way, these decisions
will impact the extent of new development slated for the southwest corner of the Loop
820/Rufe Snow Drive intersection.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS that:
1.
The City supports the action taken by the North Central Texas Council of
Governments to expedite the design of the I.H. 820 project and expresses its
appreciation to NCTCOG and the Texas Department of Transportation for working
together on behalf of North Richland Hills and all of Northeast Tarrant County.
2.
The City wishes to express support for placing this future project within the
present Loop 820 footprint, allowing for an equitable, SO/50 taking of right-of-way from
both the north and south sides.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 24th day of April, 1995.
