Alexander Drive (State Highway 146) as presently planned will block several north/south roads, thus limiting the flow of traffic across Baytown; and WHEREAS, one of these roads is Elvinta Street, which runs past Cedar Bayou Junior High School; and WHEREAS, the planned blocking of Elvinta Street will have a particularly severe effect upon those wishing to travel to or from Cedar Bayou Junior High School, which currently serves many students who live north of N. Alexander Drive (Highway 146); and WHEREAS, City Council believes if this intersection must be blocked when Loop 201 is completed, that the intersection should be kept open as long as possible, including the substantial length of time during which Loop 201 will consist of grade level service roads; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BAYTOWN, TEXAS: Section 1: That the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation is requested to not block Elvinta Street upon construction of the Loop 201 service roads in the area, but that temporary grade crossings with traffic signals be constructed in order that north/south traffic can continue to use Elvinta until such time as Loop 201 is completed. Section 2: That the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation is further encouraged to construct an overpass at the intersection of Loop 201 with Elvinta in order to provide a permanent route for north/south traffic to use in this area. Section 3: The City Clerk is directed to prepare a certified copy of this resolution and have it delivered to the State Department of Highway and Public Transportation and such others that may be interested in this problem. 1613 Section 4: This resolution shall take effect immediately from and after its passage by the City Council of the City of Baytown.
