___________________________________________________________________________
Action Requested:
Conduct a Public Hearing
Approve Resolution 07-020, Miscellaneous Amendments to the City’s
Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan.
Background
Information:
The Master Thoroughfare Plan is updated by the city every four (4) years. The
city last revised its Master Thoroughfare Plan when it adopted the Consolidated
Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan in July 2005 in conjunction with the
Southlake 2025 Plan. However, minor revisions to the Master Thoroughfare
Plan between the four-year updates are made periodically when conditions
warrant such changes.
The Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan is the city’s long-term system plan
for its transportation network, including its thoroughfare system. Specifically,
it is the city’sadopted general plan for guiding thoroughfare system
improvements, including existing and planned extension of city streets and
highways. The primary objective of the thoroughfare plan is to ensure the
reservation of adequate right-of-way on appropriate alignments and of sufficient
width to allow the orderly and efficient expansion and improvement of the
thoroughfare system to serve existing and future transportation needs.
Based on the upcoming median and funnel projects, the following changes are
recommended to the Mobility and Master Thoroughfare Plan:
Add provisional language as it pertains to Dove Street from White
o
Chapel Blvd to Kimball Avenue and Dove Street from Shady Oaks to
the western city limit line along Dove Street. This provisional language
would be as follows:
“Retain the existing designation of A2U (88’) arterial with the
provision to improve the roadway to an A4D (88’) arterial when
traffic counts on Dove Street warrant the change”
Change the designation of N. Kimball Avenue from future
o
Aventerra/Gateway Boulevard to Dove Street from A2U (88’) to an
A4U (88’)
Village Center extension – new connector street from S. Kimball Ave to
o
S. Nolen Drive (C2U, 60’ R-O-W)
Brock Drive extension – new connector street from Southlake Blvd to
o
Davis Blvd (C2U, 60’ R-O-W)

roadway to an A4D (88’) arterial when traffic counts on Dove Street warrant the change.”
QUESTIONS & DISCUSSION
When is Dove Street planned to start?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: The proposed text amendment would allow the City to analyze traffic count numbers annually and
determine if a change in designation to a four lane divided arterial (A4D) roadway would be
appropriate. The current designation of two-lane undivided arterial (A2U) will remain until such time
and no plans are currently proposed to widen Dove Street.
What is the timing of the round-abouts on Dove Street?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE: Construction should begin by the end of 2007.
Quality of Dove Street and the possibility of widening to four lanes.
DISCUSSION:
What is the Land Use Designation of the properties along Brock Drive?
QUESTION:
RESPONSE:The Land Use Designation in the vicinity of the new Brock Drive extension is Low Density Residential
with a T-1 and T-2 (Transition) Optional Land Use Designation overlay.
