Item 7A Plan 5Final Draft March 9, 2005
5.0 MOBILITY PLAN
Based on the existing character, previously adopted plans, and the Southlake 2025 Plan
Vision, Goals, & Objectives, the following general mobility recommendations for the South Side
Plan Area (areas C, D, G, & H) are proposed.
5.1 General Mobility Plan Recommendations
Develop an interconnected system of trails and sidewalks along all streets to maximize
pedestrian connectivity from neighborhoods to shopping and employment areas.
Prioritize the undertaking of a median study that includes the following street sections in
the South Side Plan Area:
• F.M. 1709 from White Chapel Blvd. to Kimball Ave.,
• Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Breezeway, and
• Brumlow Ave. from Continental to S.H. 26.
As a part of this median study, evaluate the feasibility of designating Carroll Ave. from
F.M. 1709 to Continental and Brumlow Ave. from Continental to S.H. 26 to a 4 -lane
divided facility.
• Specifically, as a part of the median study, develop F.M. 1709 ( Southlake Blvd) from
Village Center Drive to Carroll Ave as a "boulevard" with sidewalks, street trees,

medians, and buildings that establish that portion of Southlake Blvd. as the heart of the
community's Downtown. Utilize any available bond financing for streetscape
improvements to this stretch of F.M. 1709 and Carroll Ave.
• Develop a unique intersection treatment at F.M. 1709 and Carroll Ave. to create a sense
of place and arrival at Southlake's Downtown as a part of the median study.
• Designate White Chapel Blvd.'s ultimate cross section north of F.M. 1709 (3 -lane or 4-
lane divided) based on a study to move traffic efficiently and safety through the area.
• Recommend the following changes to the Master Thoroughfare Plan:
• Designate White Chapel Blvd. to a 2 -lane arterial (94' arterial) with turn lanes at
key intersections,
• Designate Carroll Ave. from F.M. 1709 to Continental (80' R -O -W) and
Brumlow Ave. from Continental to S.H. 26 (88' R -O -W) to a 4 -lane divided
facility.
• Designate Continental Blvd. from Davis Blvd. to Crooked Lane as a 2 -lane
collector (retaining its 84' R -O -W from Davis Blvd. to Carroll Ave. and 94' R -O-
W from Carroll Ave. to Kimball Ave.)
• Encourage the development of a pedestrian greenway along floodplains and creeks in the
area to provide alternative connectivity between neighborhoods and adjacent commercial
development.
• Encourage automobile and pedestrian connectivity between adjoining commercial
developments in the corridor. This in turn will reduce auto trips and turning movements
on the arterial roadways and improve level of service.
• Evaluate potential for pedestrian connectivity from retail /office uses to adjacent
neighborhoods.
• Establish design characteristics in addition to technical standards for all identified streets
in the planning area.
• Preserve the character of S. White Chapel Blvd. from F.M. 1709 to the southern city limit
line along Bear Creek.
• Prioritize pedestrian safety and access to area schools, sporting facilities (e.g., Dragon
Stadium), and city park facilities (e.g., Bicentennial Park). Specifically, designate a
school zone along F.M. 1709 in the vicinity of Carroll Senior High School.
