Title:
Consider and take action on Ordinance No. 2019-31 amending Ordinance No. 2016-05 by removing the school zone along SH 96 that begins 1,056 feet West of Lawrence Road and ends 1,215 feet East of Lawrence Road, a distance of approximately 0.10 miles - Second Reading (Director of Engineering)
Council approved first reading 7-0-0 with 1 absent on October 22, 2019.
Background:
Approval of this item will remove the school zone on SH 96. The current school zone limits are from 1,056 feet West of Lawrence Road to 1,215 feet East of Lawrence Road.
In August 2019, CCISD and our Traffic Department discussed the school zone areas and due to some development in the area over the last few years and CCISD’s recent rezoning of their district, CCISD did not believe the school zone on SH96 was warranted. The City’s Traffic Department removed the school zone signage just prior to the start of this school year and we have not had any complaints related to this change from our citizens. TXDOT has requested Ordinance No. 2016-15 be amended showing this school zone being removed so they can update their strip map for this area.
If approved, TxDOT will install new signage at no cost to the City.
