STAKEHOLDERS GROUP
City staff would like to provide the City Council with a brief report on recent findings and
recommendations by the West Seventh Stakeholders Group. Staff earlier this year assembled this
informal group of 29 property owners, business owners, and neighborhood leaders representing
interests in and around the twelve-block area bounded by West Seventh Street on the north, Foch
Street on the east, Lancaster Avenue on the south, and University Drive on the west. Several City
departments have participated in this effort, including the City Manager's Office, Planning and
Development, Police, Fire, Transportation and Public Works, and Public Events. District 9
Councilmember Ann Zadeh has also been an active participant.
The overall goal of the stakeholders group is to develop the West Seventh core area as a safe and
walkable mixed-use district in accordance with the City's urban village development policies. At its
first meeting on May 11, the group identified four broad topics encompassing the most important
issues facing the West Seventh core area: (a) public safety; (b) transportation, including traffic
circulation, parking, and transit; (c) the mix of land uses in the area; and (d) the area's overall
appearance. Staff subsequently conducted research on these topics and presented the results of
Sthat research at the group's meetings on June 13, July 20, and August 24. At its most recent meeting
t
n September 19, the group discussed and endorsed the attached summary of findings and
recommendations (Exhibit A).
In connection with this process, City staff has facilitated an agreement between the Fort Worth
Independent School District and the West 7th Restaurant & Bar Association, Inc., whereby the School
District will lease the Farrington Field parking lot to the Restaurant & Bar Association for paid self-
parking on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights from 10:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. during the four-month
period from October 1, 2017, through January 30, 2018. At the conclusion of this trial period, City
staff will assess the project's impacts upon conditions in the West Seventh core area and analyze the
feasibility of various traffic control options, such as creating a peak-hour pedestrian-only corridor,
designating peak-hour one-way streets, and installing parking meters throughout the core area. The
stakeholders group has scheduled its next meeting for January 30 to discuss these issues.
If you have any questions about this information, please contact Assistant City Manager Fernando
Costa at 817-392-6122.
