BACKGROUND
Burl and Oak Property Holding Group, LLC, requested an amendment to the City of Dallas Thoroughfare Plan to delete Crown Road from Newkirk Street to Farmers Branch City Limits from the Thoroughfare Plan. This section of Crown Road is on the Thoroughfare Plan as a community collector with the designation of standard four-lane undivided roadway (S-4-U) with 60 feet of right-of-way and 44 feet of pavement. The Thoroughfare Plan proposed extension of Crown Road was to connect Reeder Road (east of IH-35E) into Farmers Branch to Luna Road; however, Farmers Branch allowed a levy to be constructed, which makes the proposed extension no longer viable west of Newkirk Street.
Crown Road west of Newkirk Street has not been constructed or dedicated as a City right-of-way; therefore, it does not meet the definition of a collector or arterial road - the classes of streets the Thoroughfare Plan is intended to identify and preserve.
The removal from the Thoroughfare Plan will also not impact the City of Dallas Bike Plan. This section of Crown Road is not on the 2011 City of Dallas Bike Plan, nor is it proposed on the revised draft Dallas Bike Plan that is expected to be released for public input in 2024.
Staff recommends approval to amend the City of Dallas Thoroughfare Plan to remove Crown Road from Newkirk Street to Farmers Branch City Limits.
