• ~.' • <br />!".'- i <br />CITY OF LA PORTE <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />T0: OWEN, CITY MANAGER <br />FROM: ~. JOERNS, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />DATE: RUARY 27, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: RECOMMENDED LIMITS FOR RE-NAMING OF WEST "F" <br />TO MAGNA AND WEST "G" TO FLOW <br />West "F" from 16th to the West right-of-way line of 17th is open <br />but unimproved for thru traffic. It is surfaced and used for <br />parking for the business operating in Block 824. Because the <br />right-of-way is not used for thru traffic, I see no need to <br />force a name change for the one block west of 16th. In fact it <br />might be desirable for the City to contact the owners of Blocks <br />833 and 824 and suggest a joint application for a street closing <br />since the right-of-way is used for support of the business(es). <br />Therefore, the recommended limits for the changing of West "F" <br />to Magna Street are from the east right-of-way line of 16th to <br />the west right-of-way line of South 12th (approximate location <br />of Little Cedar Bayou). <br />West "G" from 16th west has been closed by Ordinance ~~1017. <br />Therefore, the recommended limits for the changing of West "G" <br />to Flow Street are from the east right-of-way line of 16th to <br />the west right-of-way line of South 11th (approximate location <br />of Little Cedar Bayou). <br />Council may wish to consider the street names to be placed on <br />the signposts in the following manner. <br />Magna Street ("F" Street) <br />Flow Street ("G" Street) <br />This has been used effectively in other communities (i.e. <br />Galveston) and it gives the community and the infrequent <br />traveler the ability to recognize the new street name and not <br />lose sequence on the existing alphabet street pattern. <br />JJ/tla <br />cc: Knox Askins (with map) <br />I <br />
