Title

An ordinance amending Chapter 9 of the City Code thereby providing revised school zones for Horn High School, Shands Elementary School and Terry Middle School.

 

Body

The Mesquite Independent School District has requested that the City modify and add several school zones within the City.

 

The first school zone to be modified is the Cartwright Road school zone for Horn High School. This school zone is being extended to include the new traffic signal at Edwards Church Road.

 

The second school zone modification is on La Prada Drive and is extended to include Sarazen Drive based on existing school routes and placement of crossing guards.

 

The next two additional school zones were added due to changes in the busing routes that necessitated school walking routes. These changes added two school zones in the vicinity of the Lawson Road and Clay Mathis Road intersection.

 

Each of these additions and/or modifications to school zones will enhance the safety of students commuting to and from their respective schools.

 

Recommended/Desired Action

Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
