the reconstruction of Lonesome Dove Avenue
Background
Information:
City staff and Tarrant County representatives have agreed in
principle to the County assisting the City with the reconstruction of
Lonesome Dove Avenuefrom Burney Lane to Foxfire. The County
will furnish the labor and equipment to reclaim the existing
pavement surface, stabilize the subgrade and re-grade the road
bed for paving. City forces will then pave the roadway.As a part of
the paving process,the city will mill and overlay the segment of
Lonesome Dove from Foxfire south to the East Dove Road
intersection. The project map showingwhere the County will assist
with the work is attached.
Because the city limit boundary follows the centerline of the
roadway in four (4) sections of thisproject, Grapevine will pay for
half the materials on those sections and the City of Southlake will
pay for the balance of the materials. The second map shows the
segments where half the roadway is located in the City of
Grapevine. A breakdown of the proportional cost follows:
Southlake$64,441
Grapevine$35,284
TOTAL$99,725

done on previous projects such as Morgan Road, NorthCarroll
Avenue, and ContinentalBoulevard.Tarrant County has agreed to
