 I'm just a second trying to hide something that popped up on my screen. Welcome to the South Cravens. Hazardous Road overtopping mitigation project. Meeting meeting. We're a little bit like getting started. Sorry about that. We had some technical difficulties. I'm the project manager. My name is Burke Gidry. Also with this today is Rich Diaz. He's a design engineer with Diaz Inc. If at any time you want to get project updates, we have a QR code here. You can scan that. There's also a project website link shown below. The kind of a general location of the project would be East of Loop 820 between Eastbury and Will Barger just west of Lake Arlington. Here's Lake Arlington over here. Project location's here. Will Barger down here. Dairy's not quite shown, but it's up here. More specifically, the project will be on South Cravens Road between Baylor Street and Oakdale Street. One thing I wanted to discuss a little bit today. Currently, if you've driven by the site in the last few months, you might have noticed that the road has was blocked with some barricades or barriers. Or maybe you notice that the the barricades or the barriers were kind of along the side of the roadway. The city's placed these barriers out there to close the section of the roadway at the Culver Crossing, but it's not the result of current flood dangers or the upcoming construction. It's due to the current condition of the bridge culvert, which is structurally unsound. So to reiterate, the road's closed due to the unsafe bridge is not related to the flooding or post construction. And the barriers and barricades they keep getting moved. So we would urge you to not use the section of the roadway because the bridge is unsafe. Are you still there? I think we lost you at our technical difficulties. Please stand by. To reiterate, please do not use the section of the road. The bridge is unsafe. Engineers have evaluated the condition of the bridge culvert and determined that doing intermediate repairs just to fix the existing culvert is not feasible. So what's going to happen is this culvert will be replaced with the construction of the the hazardous road overtopping mitigation project. So here we can see some pictures of the existing culvert. You can see the this is from the inside of the culvert. The walls of the culvert are severely cracked. Here you can see from the outside. This is the wall and the bridge slab here. There's a gap there. It's not fully supported on the inside of the culvert. There's there's severe undermining of culvert. This is the bottom slab and you can see there's a pretty large gap there underneath the culvert. So it's been undermined and it's unsafe. So once again the road closure is unsafe. Please do not use this. It's not related to the flooding or the proposed construction project and please don't use a section of roadway and please don't move the barricades out there. So this is a more close-up view of the project limits. You can see here's Baylor Street, Oakdale Drive. We're going to be doing a South Cravings Road between these two lemons including the intersections. You can see here's the flood plain boundary right here and down here and you can see that it crosses Cravings Road and during intense rainfall events it over tops the roadway. So recently in the last couple of years we've had two insinuances where vehicles were washed off the roadway. One of them was with a fatality. The other person was fortunate to get out of the vehicle. Over here on the left you can see an image of the most recent incident and on the right you can see an image of the vehicle that was abandoned in the creek. So ways that we're going to mitigate the storm water over top in the roadway. One thing we'll do is we'll construct culvert improvements. The existing culvert out there is a double barrel eight foot wide by six foot high culvert. We're going to remove that and replace it with a seven barrel 10 foot wide by nine foot high culvert and we'll also add erosion protection at the culvert. And we're going to raise the roadway profile to get it above the elevation of the flood plain and we'll also include an underground storm drain for the roadway drainage. Those will all be for storm water improvements. Other improvements we'll also have new sidewalks and we're going to replace the water line at this location and that street lighting. So this shows an aerial view of the project. Here in blue is the the creek center line and right here is the culvert location the double barrel eight foot wide by six high culvert. Okdale Drive and Baylor Street here show. So this shows the proposed culvert. You can see it's a lot bigger. You got seven barrels and it's a lot wider. Over here on the lower right down here is the existing roadway profile and up here is the proposed roadway profile and you can see the extent of the new new culvert crossing. So the the new roadway profile you can see it's several feet higher than the existing so that will help to keep it out of the flood plain. This kind of shows the paving improvements in gray would be concrete pavement that would be added. At each end we'll have asphalt transition pavement going back into the existing roadway. Sidewalk right here on each side of the roadway along the concrete paved sections and here's the proposed culvert as well. Since we're treating the curb we're going to have curb curb inlets right here shown in red. Those are going to connect to an underground storm drain system on both sides and that's going to connect to the culvert. Also we will be replacing this the water line here with a new water line. This shows a typical section. This is at the section cut at the culvert crossing the proposed culvert crossing. Here you can see this will be concrete pavement. We're going to have curbs and then we're going to have sidewalk, five foot sidewalk on each side. Here's the head wall for the culvert and we will have handrails along there at the culvert. Here's the proposed or anticipated project schedule. We expect a complete design in the fall of this year and then bid the project and award it in the winter 2023-24 starting construction in the spring of 2024 and we expect to complete construction in the winter of 2025. One thing that could affect the schedule we are in the process currently but obtaining right away in easements for the project so we won't be able to bid that until we get those. Like I said we are in the process of doing that so hopefully we can get those and not affect the schedule but it could be something that would delay things a little bit. Funding for the project is from stormwater revenue bonds and the estimated construction costs 3.4 million. This kind of shows the detour route since the road would be closed. Actually it currently is closed although the barricades keep getting moved but this shows the detour route northbound is not too bad. You go north and then go around to Oakdale, take the service road back up and then Grayson back east. Southbound is a little bit more complicated. You have to cross the East Bering Street and then take the front of the road south all the way down to Willbarger and then back up. Now we can go ahead and take any questions you might have. I have one question. Can you tell me, do we know how many homes are involved? How many homes? Can you be a little bit more specific than in what you mean by that? Houses where people live. How many houses will be impacted by this construction? Well the road closure will affect basically anyone who would use that road so all the any homes who travel that way, any people living in homes that travel that route will be affected. As far as the back up here. I think we talked about the spark being a more industrial correct? I think that's more companies than homes. Well there are people living on the south side here and on the north side. So there are some homes that would be affected by the detour. As far as the actual construction there's no homes directly on the project limits. So it would really be. I'm sorry that's not true. There's a property right there that the whole 11 and a half acres that you're working with that street line from that one street to the other. There's a property owner. Miss Williams right here is a property owner and she has two driveways that we will stagger the construction to keep one of those driveways open. Lauren can we do door hangers to make sure everybody possibly impacted by this will know what's coming because we know not everybody is on the call. But it doesn't seem like it's going to be a big number but we'd hate for someone to wake up one day and kind of be in the dark on what's what's going on and how long it's going to take. Okay sure. Yes ma'am our standard practice I believe is 72 hours in advance and then 24 hours in advance of impacting anyone. But we'll make sure we get a flyer or door hanger out to those those folks as well. Okay and I'll put it on my Facebook and do you know whatever it needs. I'll contact the churches and make sure they know too. Thank you. Linda I can barely hear you. Is this better? Not really. I heard also. While we're waiting for Linda did someone else on the call have questions for Bert? I have questions with access to my property. I have questions about that which is a major concern of do I have to ask people doing this whole two years to be able to come in and out of my property. I'm concerned about the privacy. I'm concerned about trespassing. I'm concerned about even the trespassing from the contractors, the laudering, etc. once you open up and work on this on the roadway. Those are major concerns for me. You're taking down the trees for privacy. You will not be replacing them. I want to make sure what how am I going to be impacted this entire two years of your construction being able to go in and out and the workers etc. What's your address? Ms. Williams, what's your address? 4201 South Cravens. You'll see the which is the majority of the roadway here. That's yes, yes. Gotcha. I'll be driving by. Thank you. So Ms. Williams, one thing we had we've been in touch with you and we're working with you on a lot of your questions. You have not answered them though. I've been asking and this is a great concern of that. How am I going to ask everybody every day to come inside and leave my friends, my colleagues, neighbors? How am I going to be able to access? What about my security? This is a vast place. So I want to feel safe. I want my property to be safe. I don't want to have to ask anyone. Can I come inside and leave? My privacy, you're taking down all of my trees. The fence line is going to be gone and I'm having to find the contact contractors to replace these things. It's a major concern. I understand. So we will be putting temporary chain link fence with screening on it during the construction to keep people out and for privacy. We will phase the driveways construction so that you would have access to them. We might have to work out the details, you know, coordinating that with you as we go forward. As far as the trees, I guess as part of your agreement for the easements, we'll have to work that out on on how the trees will be mitigated. I ask why I'm not understanding. I keep getting very vague information and it's really in dire importance, especially for this neighborhood. Lauren, why don't we set up a meeting with Ms. Williams either in my office or on her property. I'd rather be on her property because when I hear trees being taken down, usually we replace what we take away, but I would like to have a real thorough understanding. So I can get Josh to call your team, Laura, so we can schedule a meeting at her property if that's okay with you, Ms. Williams. Yes, that would be great. Thank you. So if at any time you do have questions that come up, here's my phone number and my email. You can call me or email me. Also here again is the QR code and the website and the link to the project website and also wanted to point out that you're not familiar with it. As far as reporting things to the city of Fort Worth, there's the my Fort Worth app that you can add to make reporting things quicker and simpler. So with that, if there's no more questions, we can adjourn the meeting. We can email Kate to hear about the Stop 6 Hub. We started 10 o'clock at email Kate to talk about the Stop 6 Hub and the swimming pool and everything to come. That's a plug. Thank you. All right.
