TxDOT issued a Call-for-Projects on February 24, 2014 under the federal Transportation Alternatives
Program (TAP). The TAP program is unique in that it emphasizes the development of alternative
transportation projects, which includes on and off street pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure for
non-driver access to public transportation, projects that enhance mobility, and safe routes to school
infrastructure projects. This is an 80 percent federally funded cost-reimbursement program with a
minimum 20 percent local match.
On May 20, 2014, (M&C G-18208) the City Council authorized the City Manager to submit an application
for funding for the East Fort Worth Trail Extension Project. On October 13, 2014, TxDOT notified the City
of Fort Worth that the East Fort Worth Trail Extension Project was selected for funding.
The East Fort Worth Trail Extension Project will serve as an extension of the Trinity Trail System further
into east Fort Worth. The proposed trail improvements would include the construction of a ten (10) foot
wide concrete trail with two foot shoulders and all other necessary grading and drainage
improvements. Staff is working closely with Streams &Valleys, Inc., and Tarrant Acquisition, LTD., to
partner with the City in providing engineering and right-of-way.
The required local cash match in the amount of$567,174.00 will be funded from the 2014 Bond Program
as part of the original project scope for enhancements to the Trinity River corridor in the vicinity of the
Trinity River. Additionally, the City is responsible for all design and engineering costs. It is anticipated that
a developer in the area through whose land the trail traverses, will fund the design and engineering costs,
in an anticipated amount of$220,120.00. Direct State costs in the amount of$19,812.00 are also required
from the City, of which $18,710.00 will be paid with future allocations from the 2014 Bond Program and
$1,102.00 will be paid from the General Fund as an advance payment required at the time the LPAFA is
executed.
This project is included in the 2014 Bond Program. Funding from the 2014 Bond Program, Proposition
Two, provides for walks and trails in the amount of$1,500,000.00. These funds are designated for new
trails and bridges from Quanah Parker Park to the City of Arlington's trail system, including a trail
connection from Mallard Cove Park to the Trinity Trails System. The remaining balance of$914,116.00
will be used to extend the trail east to the Fort Worth City limits and to Mallard Cove Park.
Available resources within the General Fund will be used to provide interim financing until debt is
issued. Once debt associated with these projects is sold, bond proceeds will reimburse the General Fund
in accordance with the statement expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the
ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance No. 21241-05-2014).
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 4 and 5.

and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the Fiscal Year 2015-16
