<br /> 22 <br /> RESOLUTION 1995-44 R <br /> A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF <br /> SAN MARCOS, TEXAS, EXPRESSING THE CITY'S <br /> SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSED LOOP/RAIL RELOCATION <br /> PROJECT; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. <br /> RECITALS: <br /> 1. The Planning and Zoning Commission has unanimously recommended that the City <br /> Council adopt a resolution of support for the proposed Loop/Rail Relocation project, <br /> because it offers a comprehensive solution to many of the transportation problems that <br /> exist in San Marcos. <br /> 2. As San Marcos continues to grow, our traffic problems will only grow worse unless <br /> we address a number of transportation issues that include several highly congested <br /> intersections, increasing through traffic in our historic neighborhoods, and continued <br /> problems at all at-grade railroad crossings in the city. <br /> 3. The Loop/Rail Relocation proposal addresses all of these concerns by removing the <br /> railroads from the center of the city, thereby allowing the future construction of reliever <br /> arterial roads where railroads rights-of-way currently exist. < <br /> BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS, TEXAS: <br /> PART 1. That the City of San Marcos supports the San Marcos Loop/Rail <br /> Relocation Project. <br /> PART 2. That in the event the San Marcos Loop/Rail Relocation Project is unable <br /> to proceed, the City of San Marcos continues in its support of a railroad overpass as a <br /> priority in the Transportation Improvement Prog(am listing. <br /> PART 3. That the City Secretary, Janis K. Womack, is directed to forward a copy <br /> of this resolution to the Texas Transportation Commission for inclusion of the project on the <br /> Transportation Improvement Program listing. <br /> PART 4. That this resolution shall be in full force and effect immediately from <br /> and after its passage. <br /> ADOPTED this 27tlclay ofFebrua;¡:-t995. <br /> ~r~-~ <br /> Mayor <br /> c4l ~ ) <br /> /~,< . .. /}';(;/,< ~ <br /> Jánls K.
