Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION Approved on 2/26/2008 Res No. 3587-02 2008
DATE Tuesday February 26 2008
LOG NAME 20FRWYSAFTY REFERENCE NO **G 16063
SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing Execution of an Agreement with the Texas Department of
Transportation for Construction Maintenance and Operation of Safety Lighting Systems within the
City of Fort Worth
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the execution of an
agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for construction maintenance and operation of
safety lighting systems within the City of Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION
Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) staff currently maintains and operates the safety lighting at
certain highway interchanges, which are covered by various agreements that date back to 1972. TxDOT is
requesting that the City execute a blanket agreement to cover the current interchanges interchanges along
the future extension of State Highway 121 south of Dirks Road and all future locations that warrant safety
lighting
The seven locations currently maintained by TxDOT are
1 State Highway 183 (Airport Freeway) and State Highway 360
2. Interstate Highway 35W (North Freeway) and lnterstate Highway 820 North
3 Business 287 and Interstate Highway 820 North
4 Interstate Highway 820 (Northwest) and State Highway 199
5 Interstate Highway 30 (West Freeway) and Interstate Highway 820 West;
6 Interstate Highway 820 and Spur 580 (Camp Bowie West) and
7 Interstate Highway 35W and State Highway 170
The three proposed locations on State Highway 121 to be maintained by TxDOT are
1 State Highway 121/Sycamore School Road intersections/ramps
2. State Highway 121/Future McPherson Road intersections/ramps and
3 State Highway 121/Fort Worth and Western Railroad bridge underpass lighting
Logname 20FRWYSAFTY Page 1 of 2
The agreement provides that TxDOT will submit construction plans to the City to approve any future
highway interchange safety lighting and that TxDOT will cover all cost associated with these safety lighting
systems unless they become part of a continuous lighting system We do not anticipate that continuous
lighting will ever be installed on these facilities therefore maintenance of these lights will most likely remain
TxDOT's responsibility The agreement will be in force for an initial two year period with automatic two year
period renewals thereafter
This currently affects COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 3 5 and 7 but is subject to being citywide depending on
future highway projects
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
