Exhibit B—
Staff Report on Seven Transportation Alternative Projects for Submission to North Central
Texas Council of Governments
This staff report outlines the seven (7) projects being submitted to the North Central Texas Council
of Government's (NCTCOG) 2022 Transportation Alternatives (TAP) Call for Projects.
The local cost share for the program is 20% and is expected to be paid leveraging 2022 Bond
funds. Projects that are located on NCTCOG's Regional Veloweb Network of Active Transportation
Priorities will automatically be awarded Transportation Development Credits (TDCs) to fulfill the
local cost share requirement. Forty Million dollars is available through this year's TAP project call.
Detailed scopes and cost estimates are currently in development for each project. Projects were
selected based on identified needs in local or regional plans, location on the high-injury network,
partnership opportunities, and ability to leverage planned projects and funds (e.g. roadway
restriping).
Oakland-Miller Safe Streets
This project includes the Oakland-Miller Corridor from Randol Mill Road to south of East Berry
Street in East Fort Worth. The preliminary scope of the project includes retrofitting the existing bike
lanes to fully protected bike lanes, enhanced pavement markings, ADA ramps, and operational
improvements to enhance safety.
McPherson-Summer Creek Safe Streets
This project includes multiple segments including McPherson Boulevard from Chisolm Trail
Parkway to South Hulen Street, South Hulen Street from McPherson Boulevard to Nightingale
Drive, and Summer Creek Boulevard on either side of McPherson Boulevard. The project includes
retrofitting existing bike lanes to fully protected bike lanes, enhanced pavement markings, and other
operational and safety improvements.
Everman Parkway Safe Streets
This is a joint project with the City of Everman to create safe routes to parks, schools and services.
Pedestrian, safety, and operational improvements such as protected bike lanes, upgraded/new
sidewalks, and intersection enhancements are being examined for the Parkway from Oak Grove
Road to Forest Hill Drive, and several connecting streets. Portions of the Parkway are located on
the Regional Veloweb, making these segments eligible for TDCs. City of Everman is expected to
be cost-share partner with this application.
AV Cato and AM Pate Elementary Safe Routes to Schools
The purpose of these projects is to construct pedestrian infrastructure that will facilitate safe walking
to and from school. AV Cato and AM Pate are located on Isbell Road and Eastland Street
respectively, which are on the Vision Zero Pedestrian High-Injury Network. Proposed infrastructure
improvements include sidewalks, ADA ramps, as well as enhanced pedestrian crossings along
Isbell Road and Eastland Street.
West Long Avenue-Angle Avenue Safe Bike Routes
This suite of projects was developed from priorities in the Active Transportation Plan. The suite
includes protected bike lanes on West Long Avenue from Angle Avenue to Jacksboro Highway;
enhanced shared facilities along NW 26th Street from Azle Avenue to West Long Avenue, NW 30ch
Street from West Long Avenue to Macie Street; and Macie Street from NW 26th Street to NW 30th
Street; and a potential retrofitted and upgraded shared path on a section of Macie Avenue currently
Ex B (cont'd)
closed to thru auto traffic from NW 30th Street to Sansom Park Drive. The facilities on Long Avenue
would complement several Vision Zero safety improvements being implemented by the City's
Transportation Management Team.
Bowman Roberts Sidewalks
This sidewalk project will connect two 2022 Bond arterial projects, WJ Boaz and Bailey Boswell
Roads, and will fill a critical gap in the pedestrian network in this rapidly growing area of the City.
The corridor connects multiple schools and community facilities.
Scopes and cost estimates for these projects are still being developed and finalized. If you have
any questions, please contact Kelly Porter, Assistant Director, Transportation and Public Works,
Regional Transportation and Innovation Division, at 817-392-7259.
