The Hyde Park Public Transit Plaza was originally developed during the 1999 study of the Intermodal
Transportation Center. The study recommended dispersing bus transfer activity throughout downtown
Fort Worth and identified Hyde Park at the intersection of 9th and Throckmorton Streets as the most
promising location for a transit plaza. The City of Fort Worth (City), the Fort Worth Transportation
Authority (The T), the General Services Administration and Downtown Fort Worth, Inc., have worked
together since 1999 to secure funding and design the proposed transit plaza.
On November 26, 2002, (M&C C-19364) the City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into
air Interl0%al Agreement with the The T outlining funding, design, acgiiisititin and project management
responsibilities for the Hyde Park Transit Plaza project (City Secretary Contract No. 29793). The
Agreement allowed the partners to initiate the design process and proceed with activities related to
property acquisition. The Agreement states that if the final design of the project includes the
realignment of 9th Street, the City and The T agree to negotiate a land swap agreement whereby the
future realigned 9th Street would be owned by the City and the existing 9th Street would by owned by
The T. Maps of the area are attached.
Staff recommends conveying and purchasing the property needed for the completeion of the
transit plaza.
