AGENDA ITEM NO. 10: Public hearing, discussion, and possible action on an amendment to the City's Thoroughfare Plan pertaining to the classification of Cornell Drive. (02-195) Transportation Planner Fogle presented the Staff Report. Mr. Fogle began his report, stating that Cornell Drive/Lassie Lane thoroughfare is a major collector east of Texas Avenue between Southwest Parkway and Holleman Drive. Cornell Drive is currently, a two-lane roadway, running from Southwest Parkway and terminates at a parcel of land with another segment before Manuel. Lassie Lane is also atwo-lane road running between Sterling and Holleman. The parcel of land is being considered for a residential development. Mr. Fogle explained the differences between a major collector and minor collector. He stated that his concern is in making certain that when reclassifying a thoroughfare, that upon build-out, the street is able to carry the projected vehicles. The projections submitted in the traffic study by Jeff Milburn Engineering, justifies reclassifying Cornell as a minor collector on the Thoroughfare Plan.
