Title
A resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for the temporary closure of State Highway 352 on Saturday, January 18, 2025, for the City of Mesquite Martin Luther King, Jr., Parade.
Body
Every year, multiple organizations make requests to the City for the temporary closure of Main and Davis Streets for annual and special events. Main and Davis Streets are sections of State Highway 352 that pass through downtown Mesquite. Staff must seek approval from the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in order to close portions of this roadway. TxDOT will grant approval for all events upon receipt of an executed copy of “Agreement for the Temporary Closure of State Right-of-Way” from the City. The attached resolution for City Council consideration authorizes the City Manager to execute this agreement with TxDOT to allow for the closure of state right-of-way along portions of Main and Davis Streets for the City of Mesquite Martin Luther King, Jr., Parade, between Bryan-Belt Line Road and Ebrite Street, on Saturday, January 18, 2025.
