Analysis
This is the last of a series of boundary adjustments between the cities of Grand Prairie and Irving and Dallas County that were to take place following the realignment and construction of Hunter Ferrell Road and MacArthur Boulevard and construction of bridges on these respective roadways. This boundary adjustment would transfer the last segment of the MacArthur bridge from Grand Prairie to Irving, whereupon the bridge would sit entirely within the City of Irving and maintenance of the bridge would become Irving's responsibility. Adoption of the ordinance will approve the boundary adjustment agreement.
A Memorandum of Understanding (Exhibit i) was approved and signed by the cities of Grand Prairie and Irving indentifying certain parcels along Hunter Ferrell and MacArthur for boundary adjustments. The parcel under consideration "parcel 7" is a 0.5969 acre tract and the south end of the MacArthur bridge, and is the last of the parcels intended within the MOU for boundary adjustment. All other boundary adjustments were completed in 2015.
