DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to adopt a Resolution authorizing the
City Manager to execute a Local Project Advance Funding Agreement (LPAFA) with the Texas
Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The LPAFA details the responsibilities of both the City and
TxDOT in the development of the project. This M&C also authorizes acceptance of federal grant funds,
transfer of funds to serve as the City's match and adoption of the appropriation ordinance for the project.
TxDOT issued a Call-for-Projects on October 12, 2012, under the federal Transportation Enhancement
(TE) Program. The TE Program is unique in that it emphasizes the development of non-traditional
transportation projects. This is an 80 percent federally funded cost-reimbursement program with a

minimum 20 percent local match.
On November 12, 2012, (M&C G-17737) the City Council authorized the City Manager to submit an
application for funding for the Neighborhood Transportation Connections for Pedestrian and Bicycles
Project. On July 26, 2013, TxDOT notified the City of Fort Worth that the Trinity Trails Clear Fork- East
Bank Extension Project was selected for funding.
The Trinity Trails Clear Fork- East Bank Extension provides an off-street trail connection from the
Mistletoe Heights neighborhood north to a new on-street trailhead at Parkview Drive. The ultimate goal is
to continue this trail to the north to the newly constructed Rotary Trailhead on the east bank of the Trinity
River where it connects with the Phyllis Tilley Memorial Bridge. Additionally, this connection will create
off-street access to Parkview Drive. This connection will also provide access to a future barrier separated
bike lane on the Vickery bridge which is being constructed as part of the Chisholm Trail Parkway. This
trail extension was included in the Trinity River Vision Neighborhood and Recreation Enhancement Plan
which was adopted by City Council on August 4, 2009 (M&C G-16638).
The local match in the amount of$870,007.00 will be allocated from the 2004 Capital Improvement
Program for the Chisholm Trail Parkway, programmed as part of the original project scope for
enhancements to the Trinity River corridor in the vicinity of the Chisholm Trail Parkway.
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget,
