<br />CLOSING G STREEET BETWEEN ARIZONA AND TEXAS STREETS <br /> <br />Analysis of the effects of closure or alternative use of E street ROW <br /> <br />LPISD owns over 90 acres in their central facilities campus. It is comprised of the three schools; the High <br />School, Junior High and Elementary at their tri-campus property. There is only one improved public <br />roadway crossing the LPISD acreage (G Street). The following analysis summarizes the impacts of closing <br />G Street or utilizing E Street as an alternative: <br /> <br />. 2006 traffic counts indicate an average daily traffic count on G Street of 1730. <br /> <br />. Closing of G street without an alternative access would force all east - west vehicular traffic in <br />the areq, including emergency vehicles, around the entire campusT creating a superblock that <br />would affect trip routing of both Original La Porte and the East End area. <br /> <br />. The distance from the C Street (nearest crossing at north end of campus) to Fairmont along <br />Broadway would be .6 miles. Along San Jacinto the distance would be .75 miles. <br /> <br />. If someone wanted to get from G Street and Broadway to G Street and San Jacinto, the trip is <br />now approximately}.l of a mile. Upon closure the same trip would be would be over a mile to <br />the south and nearly a mile to the north. <br /> <br />If E street were used as an alternative route, the following observations are presented: <br /> <br />. G street is already an improved roadway, the public is used to its current configuration. <br /> <br />. Constructing E street would impact an existing LPISD sports track. <br /> <br />. G Street maintains an intersection witl1 San Jacinto at a strategic I-ocation (the park/pool}. <br /> <br />. On Broadway, E would be a logical mid-point between Main and Fairmont, however, C and G are <br />currently signalized and are equally distributed in thirds from Main to Fairmont (seems to work <br />well in the Broadway corridor). <br /> <br />. As to area-wide traffic routing, it provides an east/west interconnection mid-way through LP1SD <br />property (as opposed to E street being only two blocks south of C Street and about six blocks <br />north of Park Street). <br /> <br />. Both E and G have water utilities, but E only has the line east of Arizona ROW. Outright <br />abandonment is not possible without relocation, but I don't believe LPISD is worried about <br />acquiring full underground rights here (we could abandon save and except appropriate <br />easements). <br /> <br />. E street is a new concrete curb and gutter street further to the east which also provides an <br />uninterrupted connection to Bayside Drive. <br />
