Description • DFW Airport is partnering with the Fort Worth Transportation Authority(FWTA)to bring commuter rail service to the Airport. •TEX Rail is a 27-mile commuter rail project being developed by FWTA,which will extend from downtown Fort Worth to DFW Airport,and include two on-Airport stations-DFW North Station and DFW Airport Station near Terminal B. • For the TEX Rail extension on-Airport, FWTA requires 41 +/-acres of Airport land,in perpetual easement,off the Cotton Belt rail line in the northwest portion of the Airport,south over SH 121/114, under Airfield Drive and future north perimeter taxi area,and working its way to running roughly parallel along International Pkwy,to the DFW Airport Station just east of Terminal B. •FWTA public mass transit improvements on this land will include track and guide way,a parking lot,utilities,and drainage improvements. •Approval for the DFW Airport Station near Terminal B will be requested through a separate authority. DFW's current cost estimate of the scope-of-work is$40+/-million that will be paid for and constructed by DFW Airport. Justification •The valuation of the easement has been determined to be$8,855,773 as supported by appraisals commissioned by both parties.The appraisal components include the value of land and certain damages. •As a result of the rail line construction,approximately+/-50 acre tract of land will be severed to the east of DFW North Station and access will be denied.As a cost to cure the damages to the+/-50 acre parcel,the parties have agreed to the following:When DFW decides to construct a roadway crossing along Dallas Road's extension,it shall cause a traffic study to be conducted.The study will assess the safety and traffic impacts associated with an at-grade crossing for the projected traffic volumes.If a grade-separated crossing Is advised,then TEX Rail will be responsible for 50%of the actual program cost to construct the 4-lane grade separated crossing(less program cost to construct a typical surface roadway).If it is determined through the traffic study that an at-grade crossing Is acceptable tc DFW,then TEX Rail will be responsible for 1000%of the program cost to construct the crossing(less cost to construct a typical surface roadway). •FWTA's DFW North Station was designed to allow DFW to maximize land use on Airport land impacted by the TEX Rail line. •DFW Airport Station will allow the travelling public to take advantage of the rail service from Fort Worth to connect to the Airport's Central Terminal Area. •The public mass transit improvements will be constructed and maintained at FWTA's sole cost and expense. •TEX Rail is projected to have 18,000 dally riders by 2035.Source:TEX Rail Final Environmental Impact Statement,January 2014. •This Official Board Action supports the Airport's FY 2016 organizational goals.
