The Stockyards has been experiencing substantial growth over the past few years with increased numbers of visitors (both local and out of area) likely due to the recently completed hotel and related shopping/entertainment venues as well as a renewed comfort by the general public to visit this unique Fort Worth attraction since the impacts of COVID-19 have been diminishing. The City of Fort Worth TPW Department is conducting a transportation infrastructure study to assess issues and identify solutions to improve vehicular circulation, on-street parking, ADA accessibility, and pedestrian safety. The study will collect traffic count data and perform extensive observations to make recommendations that could be implemented as short-term operational improvements and will also provide long-term recommendations that will be used as a roadmap for future infrastructure improvements. Study area roadway segments are: 1. N Main Street from NE 23rd Street to Stockyards Boulevard 2. East Exchange Avenue from N Main Street to Packers Avenue 3. Stockyards Boulevard from N Main Street to Packers Avenue 4. NE 23rd Street from N Main St to Niles City Boulevard 5. Packers Ave from NE 23rd Street to Stockyards Boulevard 6. Niles City Boulevard from NE 23rd Street to E Exchange Avenue 7. Mule Alley from NE 23rd Street to E Exchange Avenue A Mayor and Council Communication is currently being prepared for the September 27 agenda regarding this project. The study is scheduled to begin in October 2022 and is anticipated to be completed in May 2023. The City of Fort Worth will engage various agencies and stakeholder groups during the study.
