DATE: April 21, 2005
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - April 28, 2005
ITEM: *9.A.1. Consider an ordinance prohibiting commercial truck traffic on Red Bud
Lane (CR 122) from US 79 to Gattis School Road during the
construction of Red Bud Lane. (Second Reading)
Department: Transportation Services
Staff Person: Tom Martin, Director
Justification:
Due to the reconstruction of Red Bud Lane from US 79 to Gattis School Road, available lane
widths are being reduced. Significant numbers of commercial trucks are using this route to
avoid congestion on other thoroughfares. The presence of the large commercial trucks on the
narrower lanes are contributing to an increased level of congestion and present significant
safety hazards to the general public and to the construction workers. Prohibition of thru trucks.
will reduce congestion and improve safety.
Funding:
Cost: $750.00
Source of funds: Operations Signs and Markers
Outside Resources: N/A
Background Information:
Phases I and II of the reconstruction of Red Bud Lane began in December 2004. Construction
has narrowed lane widths on this facility and utilizes frequent lane closures, resulting in
significant delays and congestion. During this same period, there has been noted significant
increase in the use of Red Bud Lane between US 79 and Gattis School Road by thru
commercial trucks, including aggregate haulers. Their presence, particularly during lane
closures, has further increased congestion, has slowed local traffic in the area, and present
significant safety concerns.
