e . RESOLUTION NO. 85-2~ A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE TEXAS STATE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION TO IMPROVE THE NORTH BOUND FEEDER ROAD OF STATE HIGHWAY 146 (NORTH 9TH STREET); AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE HEREOF. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LA PORTE: Section 1. The North Bound Feeder Road of State Highway 146 (North 9th Street), presently is one-way from West Main Street, to approximately the intersection of 9th Street and West Adams Street. The right-of-way of the Feeder between West Adams Street and West Tyler Street is unimproved. The right-of-way from West Tyler Street north to Barbour's Cut Boulevard, is improved and open to two-way traffic, however, the pavement is in poor condition. Section 2. In order to make this section of North Bound Feeder Road a continuous street, from West Main Street to Barbour's Cut Boulevard, approximately seven hundred (700) feet of new pavement construction will be needed to connect the two paved sections. Approximately fourteen hundred (1400) feet of the existing improved North Bound Feeder Road will have to be re- constructed, or overlayed, between the new pavement ending at West Tyler, north to Barbour's Cut Boulevard. Section 3. Inasmuch as the southern-most portion of this Feeder Road is one-way, the entire section between West Main Street and Barbour's Cut Boulevard should be designated one-way, North Bound, upon completion to insure the safety of the traveling public. Section 4. The City Council of the City of La Porte petitions the Texas State Department of Highways and Transporta- tion, to take immediate steps to approve and fund the construction of a North Bound Feeder on State Highway 146 in La Porte, from West Main Street to Barbour's Cut Boulevard, at the earliest possible date.
