SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - April 10, 2008
ITEM: *10A1. Consider an ordinance prohibiting through commercial trucks on
Red Bud Lane from Gattis School Road to US 79. (Second Reading)
Department: Transportation Services
Staff Person: Thomas G. Martin, P.E., Director of Transportation Services
Justification:

Background Information•
Red Bud Lane (CR 122) is currently a 3 lane wide section, consisting of one northbound and
one southbound lane as well as a continuous left turn lane. This portion of Red Bud Lane
(CR 122) runs adjacent to predominantly residential neighborhoods. In its current
configuration it is considered a minor arterial, providing the essential access to adjacent
subdivisions. With the completion of A.W. Grimes a six lane divided arterial between SH 45
and US 79, a much better route for north south traffic in this part of the city is available,
with few residential subdivisions abutting the road. Previously, at the April 28, 2005 City
Council meeting (G-05-04-28-9A1), during construction on Red Bud Lane to widen it to
three lanes, an ordinance was approved prohibiting thru commercial trucks on this portion
of Red Bud Lane. However, this prohibition was limited to the term of the construction
project.
