LOG NAME: 2020TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF A SECTION OF SUMMERFIELDS BOULEVARD
SUBJECT
(CD 4) Authorize the Temporary Closure of Summerfields Boulevard between North Riverside Drive and Carolina Entrada Street from March 24,
2021 to April 20, 2021 for Construction Activities
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the temporary closure of Summerfields Boulevard between North Riverside Drive and Carolina
Entrada Street from March 24, 2021 to April 20, 2021 for construction activities.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW) requests the temporary closure of a section of Summerfields
Boulevard to expedite roundabout construction. The two existing eastbound lanes have long been used for both eastbound and westbound traffic
operations. Westbound lanes of Summerfields Boulevard in this section are presently under construction and should be completed to coincide
with the opening of the roundabout at North Riverside Drive and Summerfields Boulevard. The Thompson Road roundabout is completed with
Thompson Road presently open and available for detour. Approving this closure request will expedite the completion time of the project by
eliminating an entire construction sub -phase. Given the scope of work, the closure is necessitated in the interest of public safety.
Traffic control plans for this project have been previously accepted.
A Form 1295 is not required because: This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that approval of this recommendation will have no material effect on City funds.
