1. Consider and act upon approval of a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Wylie,Texas,adopting the Park
Boulevard alignment study.
Staff Comments
Mr. Chris Hoisted, City Engineer addressed the Council stating that the Collin County Engineering Department contracted
with NTB Associates, Inc.to perform an alignment study for Park Boulevard. The alignment establishes another east-west
route north of FM 544 and connects to Park Boulevard on the east side of Plano. Future improvements to the roadway
include reconstruction and realignment to a 6-lane divided concrete section which starts at McCreary road to the west and ties
into Spring Creek Parkway to the east as shown on the attached plans. Private developers and the Wylie Independent School
District have recently constructed portions of the new alignment and adoption of the alignment will preserve the right-of-way
and ensure construction of the roadway as development occurs along the route. A public meeting was held on July 25,2002
at the City of Wylie to discuss alignment alternatives and to receive input on the options presented. Multiple routes were
considered and a few changes were made to the preferred alignment based on the input received,which helped to reduce the
number of structures affected. Collin County will be adopting the alignment during an upcoming meeting.

Council Discussion
Mayor Mondy had some questions concerning the existing easements. Mr. Hoisted stated that the existing right-of-way
would be used where possible. Mayor Mondy asked about the cost of the project. Mr. Holsted stated that he had no firm
numbers but typically the cost was around$3.5 million per mile. The projected length of the project was 3 '/z to 5 miles. The
Mayor asked how much of the alignment was in the City of St.Paul. Mr.Hoisted stated that approximately 10%or less was
actually in the City of St.Paul.
Councilman Trout asked about the right-of-way width and how the corps would be affected with the alignment. Mr.Hoisted
stated that the alignment was shifted to minimize corps the property takes. He stated that the first phase would likely
establish some type of pavement along the alignment with the first improvements to 3-lane then ultimately to 6-lane. He also
stated that the aerial easement over the tracks in the first phase would likely be'''A of a bridge or 3-lanes.
Council Action
A motion was made by Councilman Trout, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Hogue to approve Resolution No. 2003-13 (R)
adopting the Park Boulevard Alignment Study. A vote was taken and passed 7-0.
• Discuss and consider Street Naming Policies
The staff and council discussed the possibility of naming new streets in the city in honor of citizens who lost their lives in the
Vietnam War and other war heroes. The consensus of the council was to have staff obtain more information and have
another work session after which a policy would be presented as an action item.
