DISCUSSION:
East Berry Street extends from IH-35W to Cravens Road,along the western shore of Lake Arlington.The corridor project will include pre-
engineering for a multi-modal,walkable mixed-use corridor. In order to enhance connectivity and access to jobs and project delivery,it is essential
to understand community desires and any physical constraints,such as utility relocation.There are also opportunities to leverage momentum and
funding sources across the City and with State and Federal partners.
On May 7,2022, Fort Worth voters approved the 2022 Bond Program. Proposition A,Streets and Mobility Infrastructure Improvements,includes
$2.5 million in funding for implementation of the East Berry Street Corridor improvements(City Project No. 104222)from IH-35W to Martin Luther
King Freeway(US 287).This corridor project will encourage complete streets design to enhance safety and comfort for all users,support
transit and provide necessary elements for swift capital delivery and economic development.
On June 1,2022,the Board of Directors for Tax Increment Financing Reinvestment Zone Number Twelve(East Berry Renaissance)
('TIF")approved the expenditure of up to$200,000.00 to fund a design and planning study along the East Berry Street Corridor.The City and the
board of Directors for the TIF will enter into an agreement whereby the City will be reimbursed for the study with TIF funds.
Upon approval of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C),all appropriations and funding will be as summarized in the table below:
Fund Entity �J Appropriation Amount
3 1100 General Capital Projects $500,000.00
30286 TIRZ-General Capital $200,000.00
11
The project will follow a four-step planning process, including public outreach,which will begin in fall 2022. First,a needs assessment will be done
to document existing conditions,such as traffic counts, mode split,safety,access management,and other analysis.Second,concept development
will focus on cross-sections that specify cars,freight,transit, pedestrian and bicycle improvements.The corridor will also benefit from public
spaces for all-ages and community uses, parking management, smart technologies,and street grid connections.Third, recommendations and
implementation strategies will address near-term,short-term(2-4 years), medium-term(5-10 years)and long-term(11 plus years). Fourth,the final
plan and project program will include a prioritized list of capital projects with cost estimates and funding sources; as well as, proposed ordinances
and regulating plan.
Funding for this project was not included in the Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program(CIP)because the project and funding
sources were unknown at the time of its development.This action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Years 2022-2026 Capital Improvement
Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 25073-09-2021.
The East Berry Street Corridor is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 5,8,AND 9.
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 funds are currently available in the Unspecified-All Funds project within the General Capital Projects Fund
and in the TIRZ#12-East Berry Renaissance Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation
ordinances,funds will be available in the General Capital Projects Fund and the TIRZ-General Capital Fund for the Berry Street Corridor Plan
project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred,the Transportation Public Works Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of
