DISCUSSION:
lntermodal Parkway is a commercial corridor connecting the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) lntermodal Facility and related
businesses in the Alliance area to Old Blue Mound Road (Old FM 156) and ultimately to Interstate 35 West (l-35W) via Westport Parkway.
lntermodal Parkway is a 30-year-old partially built road that stretches approximately 2.5 miles from the BNSF lntermodal Facility, with the first mile
in the City and then connecting to the next 1.5 miles through the City of Haslet to Westport Parkway and on to l-35W. The Parkway serves as the
lifeline for the freight , supply chain and e-commerce activities in the City and Tarrant County. This roadway connects the North America 's largest
inland port , the Alliance Texas Global Logistics Hub and its supply chain logistic partners to major employers , communities and other
transportation systems , including air, rail and interstate highway. Being delivered by a public-private partnership led by Hillwood , it continues to be
a project of significance for regional improvements be ing led by North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), City of Fort Worth , City
of Haslet , Tarrant County and Hillwood .
On June 22 , 2021 , City Council adopted an appropriation ordinance increasing receipts and appropriations in the Transportation Impact Fee
Funds in the amount of $5 ,500 ,000.00 for the lntermodal Parkway project from available funds within Impact Fee Service Area AA, as well as an
additional $250 ,000 .00 in the Developer Contribution Fund from completed Future Improvement Agreement funding (Mayor and Council
Communication (M&C) 21-0500). On August 3 , 2021 , Tarrant County awarded $6,750,000.00 of its 2021 Bond Program for the lntermodal
Parkway project.
The County Bond Program requires City matching funds dollar per dollar. The project cost has increased to $13 ,715 ,363.00 , and in addition ,
some of the project elements are ineligible for either funding source , creating a budget shortfall of $2 ,215 ,362.48 . An additional $484 ,637 .52 is
being appropriated for contingencies , for a total appropriation of $2 ,700,000.00.
As a part of the Fiscal Year 2022 year-end process , the lntermodal Parkway Improvements project has been identified to use available fund
balance from the General Fund to close this funding gap.
The action in this M&C will amend the Fiscal Year 2023 Adopted Budget as approved in connection with Ordinance 25773-09-2022, Section 1.
