 If, in case you just joined, I wanted to let you know to please mute yourself, which is the mute button to the bottom of your screen tool to the left. And if you wish to comment on VR chat box and that function is the bottom right of your screen. And with that, I am going to get started. So, good evening, my name is Alejandra and I am the city of worth project manager for the Hewland street at Grandbury road intersection improvements project. Thank you for taking the time to join us this evening to the pre construction community meeting joining me in this meeting are role Lopez, the city of worth program manager on a career, who is the design engineer with career engineering. Abhishek Artaria with Kim Lee horn Jason charian with the Ray Ray's group construction company. Since this intersection is skewed, we will be calling north toward the top of the slides, which is in the direction toward Hewland mall. Currently, the intersection is very congested approximately 55,000 cars go through the intersection in a single day. As many of you that drive through the intersection, you will observe that there are significant backups on the westbound Grandbury road. There is not sufficient capacity at the left turn lanes on Grandbury road. The intersection alignment through the intersection is inadequate. And there is a hazardous cut through east of the intersection onto Grandbury road just east of the conico station. This is the intersection today. The hazardous cut through I mentioned earlier is located just east of the conico station right here. This cut through is not safe for the traveling public and will be eliminated with this project. The purpose of these intersections improvements are to increase the capacity and safety through the intersection. Reduce the vehicle delay and improve the level of service and improve pedestrian crossing facilities. The proposed improvements will consist of adding a right turn lane. Toward a right turn lane toward Hewland mall at the westbound approach of Grandbury road. An additional left turn lane toward Hewland mall will be added at the eastbound approach of Grandbury road. Well, bouts will be constructed at the north and south sides of the intersection to decrease the crossing distance for pedestrians. A new signal will be installed, which will optimize the timing of the signals through the intersection. The concrete panels at the railroad crossing will also be replaced with this project. The improvements of the alignment through the intersection will be achieved by modifying the southern approach of Hewland street. A race meeting will be added, which will align the vehicles such that they cross the intersection in a northeasterly direction. Another modification that will occur is the elimination of the left turn toward Benbrook lake since the traffic counts for this movement were low. By doing this modification, the amount of cars that go through the intersection increased. The construction contract budget is $1.8 million dollars. The design was completed in August of 2019. This construction project went to bid an award in the winter of 2020 and the lowest bidder was the Reyes group. The reason there was such a gap between those two dates is because the city did try to obtain right away from the Conoco station and the Smiley studio in order for us to construct a dedicated right turn lane to go at the northbound approach of Hewland, but we were not successful in that endeavor. Right now, the utility relocations are currently in progress. We plan to start construction the week of April 5th and substantial completion is approximately in eight months around the winter of 2021. The city of Fort Worth has the My Fort Worth app, which can be downloaded through the Apple store or Google play. This app will allow you to communicate with the various departments of the city to report any issues encountered. For example, let's say you encounter a pothole, you can go into the app, click on new request, look for the street service, take a picture. It will populate the address nearest to the pothole, select the description and submit. This app works for any city-owned facilities, such as right-of-way parks, libraries and community centers. And explore the app. There's lots of options for animal control as well to report any streetlights that perhaps are not functioning. This ends the presentation. If you wish not to speak, please type your name in the checkbox and we will answer your question via email. Otherwise, if you have any questions, I will open it up to that discussion. And thank you for joining us this evening. Please don't forget to unmute yourself if you wish to speak. And since we're on the screen, my contact information is here. You call me Alex for short. There's my email address and my phone number. Also, Jason Cherry, and it will be the construction project manager with the Reyes Group. And our traffic engineers, Roshka, with traffic banishment. And also, I'm Edward de Villa, senior inspector and there will be, there is going to be an inspector assigned to this project. Jared Souter and anyhow, he will be available to you guys. If you have any questions or anything comes up, he will be going through the project often. So he will be your on-site contact person. So no one has any questions. In the event you do, please take note of my email address and my phone number will respond to any concerns you may have. And I do ask that you please have patience with us while we construct this intersection. The construction part isn't hard. It's managing the traffic. As I mentioned earlier, there's 55,000 cars that go through this intersection in a single day. So I will be honest and say things are going to get a little bit worse before they get better. But once it's constructed and going great, you will appreciate this project. And that's going to occur sometime in the winter, probably around December when we plan to finish. I always say weather permitting. And just be patient with us and I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have in the future. Alex, Mr. Perez is asking whether you can go back to the map. Go to the map. Fairly. Loud as I can be on this side. I just wanted if you could go back to the map. Thank you. I don't have my chat box on because I'll run out of screen. So, so if thank you for letting me let me know. So, so here is the map. So quick question. Can you hear me okay now? Yes, sir. Oh, perfect. Quick question. So on the their last time we went to this meeting, I was a while ago, years ago, at least and so forth. There was a right hand turn onto Grandbury from fueling on the south side. Yes, sir. Is that still there? No, sir, we had to we were unable to get right away from the conico and the Smiley studio property owners. Right. And so therefore we had to to eliminate that dedicated right turn right turn lane at that at that corner. Yeah, that was that was a serious consideration that we had towards the end of the year, 2020, because we were not able to reach agreement with the conico or the Smiley studio week. That's why it took us so long to go from time when the plans were approved for construction to actually, you know, now it's 2021. And so we have to make a decision and the impact to the level of service by removing that. What would have been in right turn lane. It's not significant enough. And so we decided to move ahead without the right term name. I'm surprised that it's not significant because I'm in an incredible number of people make a right turn there to go on to 20. So, I mean, that was adding that right lane was kind of indispensable at the time, but if you don't have a variance to be able to do that. Yeah, we weren't able to obtain the right away and this would have dragged, you know, maybe maybe another year or so. The queue that forms with or without the right away still backs up south of wall wall Raven circle so even with the right of the right turn lane the queue stacking up with the cars would have been beyond wall or even circle. So, yes, you know, every every little bit helps, but because we wanted to move the project forward in this level of service going north and south will be much better and also East West. Significantly improved from what it is today. You're stuck. No, I mean, they're stuck as far as geography is concerning. So that was my only question. Thank you. You're welcome. Any more questions. This has. Yes, I was going to suggest that if. Anybody's interested in the presentation that we add the actual inspector's name on the contact. Slide at the very end. Okay, that way they'll have it. And we're also going to post this presentation to the project website. Just give us a couple of days to do so. And you'll be able to to see these these slides in more detail. If you wish to. And once again, you'll have our contact information on that that last slide. And thank you very much for joining us this evening. Have a blessed evening and enjoy your spring break. A week with this gorgeous weather. And I will we will keep you posted on the progress. Thank you so much. Thank you.
