At approximately 8:16 p.m., Mayor Berry opened the Public Hearing. Don Jones, 804 Berry Creek, representing one of the landowners, reported that the request goes back to the mid-90's. Union Pacific refuses to build a grade crossing at Southwest Parkway and Wellborn Road. The cost to do a grade-separated crossing increases the construction costs, which would be borne by a combination of landowners and the City, not TXDOT. This would also result in an unsightly infrastructure. There being no further comments, the Public Hearing was closed at 8:19 p.m. RM102711 Minutes Page 3 MOTION: Upon a motion made by Councilmember Mooney and a second by Councilmember w.
