C1ISGUSSION:
The proposed Hyde Park Transit Plaza at the intersection of Ninth and Throckmorton Streets is a
collaborative effort by the City, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (the T), the U.S. General Services
Administration (GSA) and Downtown Fart Worth, [nc. The Hyde Park and Ninth Street Advisory Committee,
chaired by Councilmember Wendy Davis, oversees the project.
On October 13, 2D05, the North Central Texas Council of Governments' (NCTCOG) Regional
Transportation Council approved an amendment to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to shift
$1.2 million in federal Surface Transportation Program for Metropolitan Mobility (STP-MM} funds from the
Miller Road intersection improvement project to the Hyde Park Transit Plaza project. The STP-MM grant
will fund the Hyde Park Transit Plaza intersection improvements at Ninth and Throckmortan Streets and
certain property acquisition expenses. After a thorough analysis of the proposed Miller Road project, City
staff concluded that the intersection improvements were not warranted. If the grant funds were not used for
another City project, the funds would have reverted back to NCTCOG and may oat have been allocated
back to the City. The Federal Transportation Administration administers the federal grant funds to be used
for construction and the T is the grant recipient. The STP-MM grant requires a 2D percent, or $300,OOD,
local match, which the City and the T have agreed to share equally as stipulated in the project interlocal
agreement. The City's FY 2D05-2006 budget includes the City's $15D,000 share of the local match. The
$15D,000 loco! match must now be appropriated and moved from the General Fund to the Hyde Park
Transit Plaza account. On October 4, 2005, (M&C C-21068) the City Council approved an amendment to
the interlocal agreement with the T to reflect the revised project budget in anticipation of the TIP
amendment.
Nyde Park was originally conceptualized during the 1999 study of the Intermodal Transportation
Center. The study recommended dispersing bus transfer activity throughout Downtown and identified Hyde
Park at the intersection of Ninth and Throckmortan Streets as the most promising location for a transit
plaza. Since 1999, the City, the T, GSA and Downtown Fort Worth, loc., have worked together to secure
funding and to design the proposed transit plaza. In May, the T purchased the parking lot at the northeast
corner of Throckmorton and Ninth Streets that is integral to the transit plaza design. The reverter clause an

Plaza is scheduled to begin in November 2006.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
