Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider an ordinance repealing and replacing the Mesquite Thoroughfare Plan.
Body
The purpose of a Thoroughfare Plan is to reflect the long‐term transportation infrastructure requirements of the City by identifying the location and type of roadway facilities needed to meet projected growth. The City originally adopted the Thoroughfare Plan in 1985 by resolution and has since made amendments to reflect the changing transportation needs of the City. The City uses the Thoroughfare Plan to preserve future corridors for transportation use. The last review and amendment to the City of Mesquite Thoroughfare Plan occurred in April of 2018.
Staff has compiled 50 proposed modifications to the Thoroughfare Plan. The proposed amended segments are highlighted in the attached exhibit and are listed with justification for proposed change in the attached table.
An ordinance has been provided for a new Thoroughfare Plan encompassing all of the necessary changes. The proposed Thoroughfare Plan is included with this ordinance.
Recommended/Desired Action
Upon conclusion of the public hearing, staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
