The Intermodal Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, (ISTEA), established a congestion
mitigation and air quality improvement program (CMAQ) to contribute to the attainment of a
natural ambient air quality standard On November 30, 1994, the Texas Transportation
Commission passed Minute Order 104667 which authorized the intersection improvement project
on North Beach Street at IH-820 through the State Transportation Improvement Program
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has prepared an agreement which details the
responsibilities of both the City of Fort Worth and TxDOT in the development of this project The
City is responsible for the design of the intersection improvements, securing any needed rights-
of-way, and adjusting or relocating utilities TxDOT will advertise, award and inspect construction
of the project

three percent (53%) of the actual cost of the project Costs in excess of the State and Federal
share will be borne by the City of Fort Worth The City's share of cost is currently estimated to

SUBJECT CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
AGREEMENT WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR
INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS ON NORTH BEACH STREET AT IH-820 (PROJECT
NO 1 11-021209)
Approximately sixty (60) days prior to TxDOT's awarding of the construction contract, the City
will be required to fund the balance of the City's share of the project cost
North Beach Street north of IH-82G is a divided major arterial street TxDOT plans to let a
construction contract in June, 1995 to build the east half of North Beach Street from IH-820
south to Long Avenue This new half in conjunction with the existing west half of North Beach
Street will result in a divided major arterial street from IH-820 to Long Avenue The section of
North Beach Street under IH-820 however is undivided and only four lanes in width
Currently, this intersection is heavily congested, especially in AM and PM peak traffic hours A
traffic signal has recently been installed to assist in safely moving traffic through this
intersection Widening of North Beach Street under IH-820 to a six lane section with turning
lanes is badly needed The surrounding area ~s rapidly developing and the problem will continue
to worsen if North Beach Street is not widened and improved
The project will involve extensive work on IH-820 to accommodate the widened North Beach
Street bridges This project will substantially reduce traffic congestion atthis intersection, reduce
delay time and increase air quality
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon the approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriations ordinances, funds required will be available in the
Street Improvement Fund The cash balance in the Special Assessment Fund after this transfer
will be 54,507,964
