Title
Ordinance amending Schedule III of the Traffic Register by updating school zone effective times for all elementary school zones within the City of Grand Prairie to align with their afternoon bell times.
Presenter
Sholeh Karimi, P.E., Senior Traffic Engineer
Recommended Action
Approve
Analysis
Arlington, Grand Prairie and Mansfield ISDs have afternoon elementary school bell times of 3:35 pm (3:30 pm for MISD) which can be better served by modifying school zone effective times from 3:00 - 4:00 pm to a new time of 3:20 pm to 4:20 pm. This affects a total of 84 existing school zones within the City of Grand Prairie.
Financial Consideration
The effective time changes will be reprogrammed and/or static signs will be modified with the new times. Any cost associated with these modified school zones will be paid out of the Street operating budget.
