BACKGROUND

Blackburn Road and Ingram Road combine to create an east-west corridor in the City of Sachse from Dewitt Road to Murphy Road. This corridor continues into Garland and Richardson as Campbell Road. Traffic volumes have increased in the corridor during the past several years, largely due to residential growth in Sachse, Wylie, Murphy, Parker, and St. Paul. At the request of the City Council, staff took traffic counts and completed an investigation of the corridor related to potential ways to improve cross access for adjacent streets. This item is for the City Council to discuss traffic control devices on Blackburn-Ingram.

 

OVERVIEW

At previous City Council meetings, some citizen concerns were brought to staff's attention regarding the ability of vehicles in the adjacent neighborhoods having difficulty entering the Blackburn-Ingram corridor during peak morning and evening traffic times. This item will present the City Council with the data obtained by staff, along with multiple options to discuss. Once feedback is received staff will proceed with putting together a detailed plan for implementation.

 

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS

The Texas Transportation Code Chapter 544, Section 544.002(b) provides the City the authority to place and maintain traffic control devices.

 

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the City Council discuss traffic control on the Blackburn-Ingram corridor and provide feedback to staff on how to move forward.
