Subject:Approve naming of Westwood Connectoras Wood Way
Action
Requested:
Approve naming of Westwood Connectoras Wood Way.
Background
Information:
The Woodland Heights connector road was designed and
constructed to give the residents of the Woodland Heights
subdivision access to South Village Center Drive in order to have a
controlled intersection. The main entrance into the Woodland
Heights subdivision is Westwood Dr. at Southlake Boulevard.
There is a median located in Southlake Boulevard that prevents the
residents from making a left turn into or out of the subdivision.
Since the roadway was constructed by the City of Southlake,
Council has the rights to name the road.
Staff recommends Wood Way as the new name for the connector
road recently constructed by city forces between Village Center
Drive and Westwood Drive.
Financial
Considerations:
The cost associated with the naming of this street will be the cost of
manufacturing the two street name signs at Village Center Drive
and Westwood Drive. The cost is estimated at approximately $150.
Strategic Link:
The Woodland Heights Connector project links to the city’s strategy
map relative to the focus areas of Mobility, Infrastructure, and
Performance Management and Service Delivery. The specific
corporate objectives that are met by this construction project
include: Providing travel convenience within city and region;
Providing high quality customer service; and Investing to provide
and maintain high quality public assets.
