 Everyone who's taken time to listen and on our actual need to have these meetings are very beneficial to let residents know what improvements in road infrastructure. We're proposing in this case Northwest loop 820. And Marine Creek Parkway at that intersection is going to be a number of things that we're seeking to improve among them and spound, uh, you know, you turn lane. Uh, 900 linear feet of, um, of a 10 foot, uh, you know, bike, uh, bike trail connections to future, uh, part projects and signal modifications. You know, again, all these improve not just our commute, but quality of life around the area. So, thanks again, 1 and all for tuning in. Thank you very much. I'll go ahead. So, thank you, Jeff. Good evening. Attendees member of our association and council member Carlos for us today's. Let me go to the next slide. Today's meeting is for the pre construction community meeting for the 820 and Marine Creek Parkway phase 1 intersection improvement. The city project number is 1 0 1 5 8 5. My name is this called stress. I am the city project manager for this project and I will be responsible for day to day operation of this project. Kim, they want an associates associate is a design team for this project today's of the 17 2022 it's about 605 p.m. The main goal of today's meeting is to get a feedback from you all. Regarding the upcoming construction project, as well as at the same time, just let's inform you that the construction is coming in the vicinity of your neighborhood, um, expect some delay while the construction is happening. However, at the same time, our goal is to minimize that impact as much as possible. The end of her meeting is I'm going to briefly talk about the project background. We'll talk about the existing condition and also propose improvements. What we are doing. At this intersection, as well as we're going to talk about the traffic control plan, uh, class phasing plan. And we'll also explain about the project schedule and other adjacent project nearby this location at the end of the slides. We'll take an equation that you may have. Before I start with the items, I like to introduce you all to the project team. Um, listen, that's about is a city, city program manager for this project, but unfortunately, unfortunately, she's not able to attend to that because he had a conflict. Dana Schumar is the engineer of record with the community on an associate for this project. Trent is also the engine project engineer with the community on an associate. Can one is going to be the city inspector for this project. And Dan McClendon is the president of McClendon construction company is a general contractor for this project. Project background project is located in council district number 2 is at the intersection of marine creek and and not with a 20. The scope of the project is to construct. Is bound you turn land as well as. I can, I can buy trail within the text out right away. Goal of this and the purpose of this project is to reduce the control delay of is bound. It's on you turn land by proposing a pre flow separate you turn land. What that mean is currently if someone someone is traveling on the eastbound a 20. And they exited off to the marine creek and exist right now that when they if they have to do the you turn land, they have to go through the two intersects to signalize intersection to make a U turn. However, that's part of this project. What we are doing is we are doing the pre flow you turn land so that they don't have to wait for the signals and that significantly are not reduce the traffic condition at that at that location because they're going to have pre flow. Another way is by reducing the carbon footprint by reducing the control delay at the intersection as well. And also provide another goal of this project is to provide safe and comfortable user experience for all traveler, whether by foot. Bicycle or a vehicle because we are connecting that I can write trail within within the project as well and connectivity is another another goal of the project. And I'll discuss about the connectivity later on. At existing configuration current currently that the existing intersection of a 20 and marine creek is a diamond interchange. Is the marine creek is within the text right away. It's a four land to land each way divided this trade with intersect at the 20. Front is road, both eastbound and westbound with the signalized intersection and the speed limit of the speed limit of the marine creek is 40 mile per hour. The existing configuration currently is if someone again, I mentioned earlier, if someone is trying to take exit off of eastbound of a 20 trying to make a U turn they have currently, they have to go through the to signalize. Intersection one at the at the eastbound and not bound of marine creek light and another one is westbound and not bound in front to make a U turn that's the existing configuration. I can do this because this picture is taken at the intersection of. Just not up a 20 and a marine creek looking south, as you can see, this is just like a four land divided to land each way, and it doesn't have the preflow U turn land either in eastbound or westbound. However, at part of this project, we are only proposing the eastbound of U turn land. Proposed improvements the blue, blue has said that that you see in here, the green is a U turn, a 20 eastbound U turn land. And we are also proposing the yellow yellow said that you see is a height and 12 foot wide hike and bike trail and that's going to get connected to the park project, which we which will connect. Marine Creek leg and the park towards the south, I believe, trying to figure out what's the name of that park. See, yeah, box, box, send, send some park and we are there will be concrete medians. Sometimes we're installing some concrete medians as well as we are doing some minor. Um, strong rain improvement, relocating some inlets, and we are also proposing some concrete reprap as part of the storm, storm, rain improvement improvement in order to minimize the traffic impact at the intersection of the construction will happen in the 2 different phases. That's what our plan is on the phase 1, we will be. Sorry, I'll go back again on the phase 1, it's going to be that we will be mostly installing the U turn lane at this time. We, we have directed the contractor. They can only close the lane of South bound of Marine Creek while they are working and working for the installation of U turn. And traffic control will be placed and expect some delay while the land are closed and please watch for the construction crew during construction. On the phase 2, it's the same thing. Not bound land will be closed. Some, it's not entire not bound. It's just the 1 line will be closed. People will access to the not not found, but there's some land will going to get closed. Again, the traffic control will be, it will be placed for the safety measure and expect some delay while they're working on, on, on what they are doing construction. Again, please watch for the construction crew during construction. Project schedule contractor will mobilize and next month, with the September of this year, and they have about 300 calendar years to complete this project. And with this, with this substantial completion, there'll be somewhere around sometime around this spring of 2023. An adjacent project, I think you may be already aware that there is a existing trail system that runs along the marine creek that connects the. Box Simon Park to the Trinity trail system. Basically, what is the park has a project that connects box Simon to the marine creek department has it, but our project is only going to be installing. The section within the text are right away and that's, that's, that's the why we were saying the connectivity as part of the project goal because the people once this gets installed, people can have access to hiking bike from, from marine creek trail system to all the way to the Trinity trial system. Once it gets completed. The part of the park project that from Seaman Park to the 20. That currently is under construction right now. I believe the construction started on July of this year and they anticipate the construction to be completed on December of. 2022 that's again, that's from box Simon to the 20 and our project is going to be installing within the text right away. But this small pieces from the text right away to the marine creek park is still working on it. I don't have the schedule right now. When, when they are planning to do that, but if someone wants to know, I'll find that for you and let you guys that I got to wipe it down. That being said, I'm going to, I mean, if you have any questions are concerned during construction, you can call me. My number is 817 392 7254. Again, I'm the city project manager for this project. I will be responsible for day to day operation and. Tammy Vaughan is a city inspector over on marine creek. It can be that it said to 225 9106. And then McClendon is the is the president of the general McClendon construction company company. He can be that 817 295 066. It's called this is a member floor has the question about. Construction impacts they pertain to school hours, right? Drop off. Times and pick up times are there any special considerations that the general contractor will take. To be mindful, you know, those peak hours. Okay, thanks. Thanks for the question. I'm, I'm, I'm going to floor it. I believe the, the, the, the is going to be off peak hour. If it has not been pulled yet, my understanding is that's going to be taken consideration. Why that? Well, that is going to be given to the, to the contractor. My understanding is anywhere. Between the they can only work from 9 to 4, if I'm correct. I'll pick out and we can still consider it. There is a lot of peak peak volume is coming in and we still can consider that as well. Yeah, thank you. You know, again, all I ask is that. You know, to whatever reasonable degree possible that the contractor and planners keep that in mind. Thank you. No problem. Oh, we do have 1 question that just came in on chat. Allison is asking, will there be a bridge or tunnel from North bound Marine Creek Parkway 20? Oh, will pedestrians and bike riders have to cross at a light at the light? Can you repeat that question again? Please? Will there be some type of bridge or tunnel from North bound Marine Creek Parkway at 820? I assume over the access road or to get to the trail or will they have to cross at a light? Yes, how's the cross? Yeah, I think I can, I can answer that question, but I'm going to have a then add if she wants to. Right now, the currently the configuration is they have to walk through the life. And they're going to be, they're going to be, we are doing as part of the project. We are doing some single modification for the pedestrian access. They will have a safe route to cross. Um, those front is road to be connected to that through the transit system. Jenna, do you want to add any? Yeah, correct. It's going to be at a crosswalk at the signal. That's how you'll have to cross the front of road and Marine Creek. All right, we do have a couple more questions coming in. We have 1 from Colin. Will there be future changes to the eastbound front of road? To allow more than 1 lane going straight in the future. I think right now, currently it goes. If I'm correct, then I'm right now our plan, so the 2 through lane for the eastbound, correct? I'm pulling it up right now. I believe so. Can you go back to the. Exhibit this call? Yeah, sure. I believe there's a dedicated left as a left through, so only 1 lane carrying through. Yeah, I may want to add to it. Maybe it may be because a lot of people that. Sorry, it's called apologize for cutting you off. Sure, I was what I'm saying is it may be because a lot of a lot of people taking off in the eastbound to the Marine Creek is most of the people are either either taking a U turn or a left turn. Maybe that's why you only have 1 through through through and that's what I'm thinking. We do have another question from Jose is the traffic question is the traffic after school is bad because the life takes forever to change. Sometimes traffic goes from Jimmy right freeway to northwest college drive. Not going to be addressed. I'm afraid I don't think we we are addressing that as part of this phase, but maybe most likely we are addressing is that. So, can you read that question 1 more time? Sure is the traffic after school. It's really bad because the light takes forever to change. Sometimes traffic is from Jimmy right freeway all the way to northwest college drive. Not what I'm trying to see that out. What is not what's called is right. It's so Marine Creek coming south bound. The traffic cues back up is what I'm understanding from that. Yeah, I think for the phase 2, I think this this current phase phase 1, getting the U turn in. Probably will not address that, but the 2nd phase will we'll have the display slaps that'll help with optimizing the signal. The intersection so the current the current phase will not. All brown I have a questions. In regards to Marine Creek Parkway. North side the U turn line going under the freeway that you're constructing in phase. Number 1 and you allow for turning radius is for the gigantic. Get the equipment holler that are going to accident Marine Creek Parkway. Make a U turn through this U turn line to go up to the. Richie brother's auction facility on the West bound. Road is mostly a question regarding height as well as turning radius. This I have personally counted 42 will your trailers making this route to go from the east bound to the west bound. Have you taken counter counter to that for your and during design? Yes, sir, we actually got we talked to Richie brothers and got the dimensions of their largest vehicles. And ran a turning template and you'll see like the radius is on the screen are a lot larger than the traditional Texas U turns to account for that. So, yes, that was taken account. But to answer your question, yeah, and once it gets constructed, the truck that gets into that option thing, they should be easily get to they're using this U turn length. Another question about the sidewalk, I can answer that the question is, is there only going to be 1 sidewalk on the 1 side? Yes, there's going to be the. The trail is going to be enough to accommodate to a it's a it's 12 foot wide along underneath the bridge. So it'll be wide enough to accommodate 2 way pedestrians. But there wasn't enough space to fit in a sidewalk by the U turn and stay within the bridge buttons for tech starts footprint. And I'll just add on the north and south side, there will be pedestrian buttons and safe crossings to go back to the west side after you cross under the. Overpass, I don't don't see any additional questions in the chat. If anyone else has questions, go free to unmute yourself. Hopefully 1 at a time. And we can try to answer any other questions. Connor Harvey, I have a question. So you mentioned that the estimated completion for this project was spring 2023. Is that correct? Yes, so that's correct. And then the, the bike trail connection from this project down to Bucks, Sanson Park, you said the estimated completion for that was December of this year. That is correct. They will finish that before us. Okay, who would I be able to reach out to to find out the timeline on the connection between this project and the trail at Marine Creek Lake? I don't have the, what I can do, let me, I think the project manager's name is, give me a minute, let me find the project manager. Okay, thank you. Yes, I got his name. His name is Kevin Rodriguez and he can be reached at 817-392-5746. And if you don't get a hold of him, just call me and let me know and then I'll find it for you. All right. Thank you so much. No problem. We do have a couple more questions showing up in chat. Great ones to know. Is there any potential impact of text for us being taken into account for the project? That, I don't know. But yeah, I don't, I don't have the answer for that. I may have to reach out to TextDOT and then to find out what the future plan for the A20. There's another question. If it's a TextDOT project or Fort Worth project, who will be in charge of the maintenance? Dana, do you want to? Do you want to? Sure. It is a city funded project, but right now within the right away, this TextDOT maintains the roadway and drainage, but the city will maintain the traffic signals and sidewalk. So it's a combination of maintenance responsibilities. Thank you. Greg did a follow up said that the TextPress project is getting ready to start as well. So there is another Colleen has another has a question. Are you taking into account the line of sight of cars going westbound on A20 frontage road for the pedestrian and bike walkway with the signal? There is a noticeable downhill going westbound and she's concerned about car speed and less reaction time. Dana, I may have to deprive these questions back to you. That's a good question. And we'll, we'll confirm in that, but we should have the stop bars pulled back far enough beyond where the, where the pedal push buttons are. And then, and I don't know if Abish X on, but yeah, we'll look into it. And I don't know Colleen. Go ahead Abish. Yeah, I'm on. So are we talking about the westbound on the, I think that we were probably closing that westbound crosswalk now, right? So with the project. Correct. Yeah. So it'd only be the eastern side. Correct. And I, I mean, if I recall correctly, I don't think that has a visibility problem. Right. And ideally, you know, pedestrian, the signal head wouldn't allow pedestrians to cross while the light screen. So as long as they're able to stop at the stop bar, then they shouldn't come into conflict with pedestrians who are following the signal head. Yeah, that is correct. And then we can, we can again look at the side distance if there is issue, but I think based on my recollection, I think that should have a clear side distance there. All right. Looks like there's a couple more questions that came in. So, Jeff, do you want me to read them? Or do you want to? Sure, Dana. Go ahead. It seems like traffic will get worse with the addition of the Katie's car wash going in on the eastbound side is a car wash. The only thing going in there. Or there'd be additional businesses or apartments or homes. It's called, do you want to take that one? This is council member Flores. What Katie's car wash are we talking about? Because. Carlos cannot, cannot comment on that. Yeah, go ahead. Carlos, there's a new sign on the other side of 820 now. And it's actually, it's in a horrible spot. It's right at the. It's right at the access point of 820. If you were to turn left from Marine Creek Parkway, there's a sign there now. Okay. So I'm sure that's coming through, but it just seems odd. There's no way text dot would approve if that's the actual location for that Katie's car wash. I haven't seen a P. You see for that yet, Ryan. Thanks. Sure. Yeah, somebody has said that they were going to build the car wash and that they were going to build new. Like warehouses or something like that. But I was not sure. And that's what the people at the Marine Creek apartments had told me. The city doesn't do the development. Developers come in and apply for. Approvals to put in development. So I think it's a review process. If they're within text dot. Coming in off text up front. I don't think that they would. They'd have to be set back far enough to be able to have safe access. There's some background noise. Okay. Looks like. Another question about impact the city bus schedule. Is that referring to the construction? I'm not sure. But Jose, if you could clarify your question, please. What the bus schedule. Katie's. I guess that was a yes that the question was about construction. They will be, they'll be maintaining traffic flow the whole time during construction will be two lanes. In each direction. So the, the buses should be able to get through. Yeah, I want to add to that. I mean, I, I, we don't anticipate any, any impact to the bus schedule. It will be there. We'll be maintaining the traffic flow. It's just going to be during construction minor impact for the traffic flow through the intersection. But as far as the schedule goes, it should demand the same. Is there any other questions? Or concerns or feedback? There's a few more statements in there about the Katie. Great. It seems strange that two sides are planning together. Katie's is not the frontage rows. It'll be on Marine Creek Parkway. Is this an eastbound from this road? Around this area right here behind the, I mean, not the apartment complex. I believe that's where. So the new sign is located on the, on the frontage row actually right at where you merge on a 20. If you were to go right. Right here. Yes, that's where the, that's where the new sign is. The sign used to be on the other side of a 20 that got turned down. Where it's at. It just doesn't make sense. I get that. I will follow up with the development department and find out more, but if they are the construction access is going to be away from the Marine Creek and a 20, then it should not impact the intersection. Traffic operation, but I'll find out more about that project. I'm all I'm not aware of that project, but I will find out and see if that it has an impact. To us. In terms of phase 1 and phase 2 book. Thanks for bringing that bringing that up. Is there any more questions? Yeah, we just had one from Jackie come in and said late to the meeting if the trail will connect to Samsung Park on angle. Why not keep it on the same side of the street as the lake as we travel towards downtown on bike. Okay. Let me pull that up. I think it's I mean, excuse me a minute. Is the question is about where the trail is, whether it's on the east of ways of the Marine Creek inside of the Marine Creek. From the from the late from the park to the 20. I believe they're asking since graph book. Since book Sansa and the lake around the west side, then how come the, the trail didn't just travel along the west side of Marine Creek. I think I have to read. I have to follow up to answer this question to the park project manager. And again, this is already under under construction. It can be considered, but the person from. Related to. If we kept the trail on the west side of Marine Creek Parkway and angle, then we wouldn't have to cross the street twice to get to Buck. And some park. So I was just curious. If I'm seeing that right. And then where is the other crossing expected. To be on angle in order to get. To bucks and some park for people. Pedestrians and bicycles. Yeah, I can, I can follow up with the park project manager on this one and get the same question answer for you right now. I don't, I don't have that entire design plan. It's already under construction. I mean, it may, if you ride. If you drive through there, maybe there already gets to that has already started, but I can, I can get and get the actual alignment of this trail system that's from the Buxman to the 20 for you. If you need it, I can get that for you. If you don't mind sending me an email thing requesting that I'll get that for you. And so that you can have a detailed information about the project. Okay. Thank you. And I write that. Twice a week. Unless it happened three days ago. There's no construction. At least on the long angle. So, but it sounds like the design has already finalized. Just maybe a missed opportunity. Jackie, I think you may have missed earlier, but we did discuss with the new eastbound U-turn being added. We weren't able to fit the trail in on the west side, at least within the textile right away at the project limits we're talking about. But like Escal said, I think the, the decision to put it on the east side for the rest of the trail. We'd have to reach out to the other project manager. You have one more question because they want to know why only put one U-turn in. I mean, we did that. Then I do you want to answer that? I mean, I'm assuming that based on the topic study that a lot of the topic is taking a U-turn and it's needed to Basically reduce the condition at this intersection. That's what we are proposing it. That's number one. Number two would be the funding. Correct. Yeah. And then right now, yeah, there's not a high volume of doing U-turns. Yeah. I mean, in the future, that may be a future project. That tech site could do, but the current need is definitely the eastbound U-turn. Old Decatur is located so close on the east side that there's, that's, that's really limiting the need for that U-turn going westbound. But with Huffines Drive and at our last public meeting, there was a lot of people saying that that U-turn movement is their regular route. So that's kind of what prompted this eastbound U-turn. Yeah. I mean, with the new retail coming in, Jose, I think, yeah, that's something that will have to be evaluated as that does develop. But it was caught. The city didn't have the funding to do much more than planned right now. It will be a benefit to the overall intersection for sure. There's another question from Greg. How long is the U-turn lane on the eastbound exit? Trenton, can you look that up? So as they, on the eastbound exit. Okay. So on the south side of the road, the left side of the page, left side of the screen here. Yes. Okay. We can get that number for you. I don't have it off the top of my head. The question, how long is the U-turn lane from, from eastbound to westbound? Is that, is that a question? I believe it's, I believe it's the length of the like deceleration lane along the eastbound front of the road. Okay. It is about 300 feet long. I'd say in between 300 and 350 feet long. Not seeing any other questions come in, Iskall. If there is no more question then again, thank you everyone for attending and we are really, really excited for this project. From now and until the construction, I mean, while the construction is happening, if you have any questions, please feel free to call me or city inspector. If you have any concern or anything like that, and we'll get that address. That being said, again, thank you everyone for attending. I'm going to stop sharing my screen unless someone has any questions. Iskall, this is a council member Flores. I would like to be copied. Answers to all the questions asked at this virtual meeting, please. We'll do it. All right. Thank you. Thank you.
