RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE the requested closure of a portion of Todd Helton Drive between the west line of Pat Head Summit Street and the south line of Volunteer Boulevard.
The request is consistent with other ROW closures approved by the Planning Commission within the core of the campus. The street is within the defined institutional zone as outlined on the campus master plan. As with the ROW closure of the other section of Volunteer Blvd., the campus plans to develop an extensive streetscape project, by improving the road, sidewalks, lighting, seating , and initiate landscape enhancements. The improvements should be similar to the improvements already implemented along Volunteer Blvd. By transferring the remaining section of this street it provides an opportunity to expedite the project to ensure we can standardize the design guidelines. The street shall continue to be a major road through campus, which shall also serve the public and mass transit.
No objections from any departments or utilities have been received by staff as of the date of this report.
