Title
Consider and take action on a resolution to rename the proposed Emerson Drive which will connect Ervin Street and Muldoon Parkway as Longfellow Drive (Executive Director of Development Services)
Background:
Approval of this item will rename Emerson Drive to Longfellow Drive.
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is currently advancing SH 99 Grand Parkway Segment B-1 Design Build Plans towards final stages. As part of this process, TxDOT has requested the official names of all roadways that intersect with SH 99 Grand Parkway Segment B-1 corridor to include in their final plans.
Based on the City's request, the developer recommended "Longfellow Drive" as the name for the roadway. During the January 28, 2025, Council Meeting, the roadway name for this segment was approved as Emerson Drive.
The owners of the property have respectfully requested that the name “Longfellow” be reconsidered. An email outlining why the name was originally selected is included in Exhibit C.
Approval of this resolution will direct staff to rename the proposed Emerson drive, which will connect Ervin Street and Muldoon Parkway, as Longfellow Drive.
