SUBJECT: CHANGES IN LOCATIONS WHERE ACCESSIBILITY
rF IMPROVEMENTS ARE BEING MADE WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT FUNDS
On June 14, 2016, City Council approved M&C G-18760 which provided $850,000.00 in
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for a portion of the costs for architectural
barrier removal and accessibility improvements to comply with federal requirements at the
following City facilities:
Worth Heights Community Center, 3551 New York Avenue, 76110, Council District 9;
Northside Community Center, 1100 Northwest 18TH Street, 76164, Council District 2;
North Tri-Ethnic Community Center, 2950 Roosevelt Avenue, 76106, Council District 2;
Central Library, 500 West 3rd Street, 76102, Council District 9;
East Regional Library, 6301 Bridge Street, 76112, Council District 4; and
Southwest Regional Library, 4001 Library Lane, 76109, Council District 3.
Instead of making improvements at the Central and Southwest Regional Libraries, Staff proposes
that the improvements instead be made at the following locations:
Northside Library, 601 Park Street, 76164, Council District 2; and
Riverside Library, 2913 Yucca Avenue, Council District 9, 76111.
This change is being made in order to make improvements to older neighborhood-based City
facilities rather than more recently constructed facilities. Additionally, the Central Library
bathroom improvements were funded from a different source. All of the Community Centers and
the East Regional Library listed in the M&C will remain a part of the project.
A public notice to change the locations as noted above will be published in the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram on Friday, February 24, 2017 and will run for 30 days as required by the Citizen
Participation Plan, (M&C G-18936).
If you have questions regarding this IR, please contact Aubrey Thagard, Director of
Neighborhood Services at 817-392-8187.
