Body
BACKGROUND
The City of Dallas Department of Transportation and Public Works has received a request from the City of Dallas Office of Bond and Construction to amend the City of Dallas Thoroughfare Plan to remove Old Ox Road between Camp Wisdom Road and Kirnwood Drive. This amendment supports a partnership project between the City of Dallas and the University of North Texas at Dallas for the development of a joint-use Law Enforcement Training Center facility.
The planned road alignment conflicts with the proposed site layout and operational needs of the Law Enforcement Training Center and bisects the existing campus of Kathlyn Joy Gilliam Collegiate Academy. Removing the alignment will allow for full and efficient utilization of the training center property.
The road does not currently exist, and the City neither owns nor maintains any right-of-way along this alignment. Its removal will not affect connectivity or circulation in the area.
Staff recommends approval to amend City of Dallas Thoroughfare Plan to remove Old Ox Road between Camp Wisdom Road and Kirnwood Drive.
