2 Transportation Projects On or Near SH 199 SH 199 from 0.3 miles south of FM 1886 to south end of Lake Worth bridge Construct freeway mainlanes and frontage roads 10-Year Plan Funding: $85.3 million SH 199 from 0.3 miles south of FM 1886 to south end of Lake Worth bridge Construct freeway mainlanes and frontage roads 10-Year Plan Funding: $29.7 million FM 1220 at Azle Avenue Intersection improvements SH 199 from Azle Avenue to IH 820 Construct freeway mainlanes and interchange at IH Year Plan Funding: $200 million Total Investment $415 Million SH 199 from IH 820 to West Fork of Trinity River Reconstruct to 4/6 lane divided urban 10-Year Plan Committed Funding: $100 million North 2

3 Study Overview Limits: IH 820 to Belknap Length: 6 Miles Scope Existing Conditions Analysis Traffic Assessment Economic Market Analysis Stakeholder and Public Involvement Corridor Design and Operation o Drainage Assessment o Urban Design/Streetscape Alternatives o Multi-Modal Safety

4 Study Purpose and Goals Provide a basis for the future design of the roadway and develop a phased approach for making improvements to SH 199 Goals: Evaluate alternatives to maintain the flow of traffic through the corridor Provide transportation options for all modes Improve drainage Provide economic development opportunities

5 Challenges and Opportunities What is Great? Historical Context of the Corridor Parks in the Area Adjacent Neighborhoods Vistas and Views Redevelopment Opportunities What are the Challenges? Traffic Volumes Drainage Topography Number and Size of Driveways Speed Safety Pedestrian Access Making the Corridor Attractive to Businesses Adjacency to Park Land and a Historic Neighborhood What are the Opportunities? Right-of-Way Width Increase Pedestrian/Bike Connectivity to Parks and Trails Park and Ride near IH 820 More Mixed-Use Development Enhanced Urban Design

6 Traffic Data 2016 Average Daily Traffic 1 30,050 to 35,800 vpd 2040 Projections 2 50,200 to 55,700 vpd Crash Data ( ) 1,191 vehicle crashes with 9 fatalities 18 pedestrian related crashes with 3 fatalities 3 bicycle related crashes with 0 fatalities VPD = vehicles per day 1 Based on Traffic Counts Taken in April Projected Traffic Volumes Based on NCTCOG Mobility 2040

7 Proposed Improvements Reconstruct and widen the existing roadway o 6 lanes from IH 820 to University Drive/Northside Drive o 4 lanes from University Drive/ Northside Drive to Belknap Street Convert rural cross section (open drainage ditches) to urban (curb and gutter with wide sidewalks) Base Concept ROW Base Concept ROW No significant purchases of land (right-of-way) are anticipated

8 Conceptual Intersection Layouts DRAFT DRAFT

9 Conceptual Intersection Layouts DRAFT DRAFT

10 Potential Effects to Properties Along SH 199 Change to property access Change in locations of median openings Construction impacts - will suggest that TxDOT explore quarterly meetings with property owners These will be addressed by TxDOT during the preliminary engineering and environmental process

11 Potential Economic Development Nodes Conducted market assessment within trade area Reviewed projected industry and corridor trends Completed parcel-by-parcel analysis by studying zoning, land use, topography, land values, land assembly, and ownership type High nodal development potential

12 Urban Design Base Concept Parkway Concept Boulevard Concept

13 Urban Design Parkway Concept Outward Emphasis Urban Transition Development Nodes Boulevard Concept Inward Emphasis Optimize Natural Features

14 Urban Design Concept Plan Parkway Concept ROW 150 ROW Transition Zone

15 Urban Design Concept Plan Boulevard Concept ROW 120 ROW Transition Zone

16 Stakeholder and Public Involvement Stakeholder Steering Committee Meetings Stakeholder meetings with staff and elected officials Community Meeting #1 October 2016 Numerous presentations including: o Coffee and Conversation with Mayor Barnett o Fort Worth Pedestrian and Bicycle Advisory Commission o Samsom Park Annual Business Luncheon o Fort Worth City Council o Tarrant County Commissioners Court

17 Next Steps Finalize recommendations and cost estimates Prepare final report Work with TxDOT to initiate preliminary engineering and environmental process for the project

18 What Do You Think About.. Roadway Design Urban Design Economic Development Opportunities
