SECTION I - STREETS AND ALLEYS
including sidewalks, are intended for future extension across these
rights-of-way, shall be constructed in right-of-way as required by the
Thoroughfare Plan for half the distance across the fights-of-way.
For railroad crossings, the City will participate to the extent of 25 %
of the cost charged by the Railroad Company to construct the crossing
and signals and shall reimburse the Developer for such costs when
City funds become available. The remaining 75 % of the costs shall
be shared by Developers of the four quadrants of the intersection of
the street and railroad. When, in the City Engineer's judgement, it is
not feasible to construct the street and/or railroad crossings at the time
of development of the subdivision, escrow for the Developer's portion
of the cost may be required.
Where a major arterial or minor arterial thoroughfare, or a State
Highway, is to be constructed, the Develope~ shall construct paving
a minimum width of 25 feet, if deemed necessary by the City
Engineer. The City will reimburse the cost of the excess width to the
Developer who installed the paving, at the Developer's contract price,
when City funds become available. When paving thickness in excess
of eight (8) inches is required, the City will reimburse the Developer
for the additional thickness when funds are available.

workmanship shall conform to "Standard Specifications for Public
Works Construction," published by North Central Texas Council of
Governments.

minimum 5' concrete on a prepared (lime or cement modified)
subgrade with adequate surface drainage. All fire lanes shall be
