 Thank you all for joining tonight's meeting. This is the community meeting to discuss the design plans for the. So, feeling street, invest, rising your road intersection improvement projects. This is in council district 6. So, before I get started, are there any representatives from council district 6? Okay, so we'll go ahead and get started. So, my name is fancy and I'm the city of forward project manager. Our design project engineers are put in the engineering for tonight's agenda. We'll discuss the details on the status of this project. We'll talk about the design phase, the project details, the project schedule and then project contact information. So, we are currently in the design phase and just the overview of the design stages. We have the 30% submittal and for this submittal, we like to have the track. The consultants will do the traffic study. They'll come up with recommendations on the intersection improvements. Next is a 60% submittal. So, for this submittal, we like to have more in that details and more further engineering. Then we like to do a constructability walk through just to make sure that. Um, we are able to construct the improvements and then we like to start coordinating our utilities and right of late, if, if applicable for our 90% submittal. That's when we start finalizing the plans for construction for this project. We are currently in process for the 60% submittal so a little background on this project. So this project is part of the 2022 bond program. And our consultant did a traffic study to come up with how we can improve this intersection. There is a need to improve traffic flow during peak hours, reduce delays and improve overall safety for all road users. Improve pedestrian safety at the intersection by installing pedestrian actuated signals with push buttons. And also improving pedestrian access elements such as ADA compliant curb ramps. And again. This project is funded by the 2022 bond. So, we had a traffic operation study and the purpose was to evaluate improvements to increase capacity, improve mobility and improve operation based on the traffic study. There was conclusion that there is heavy westbound and southbound left turn movements. We have the North Crawley high school located south on healing street. And then I 35 and Crawley middle school located east on West rising your road. So, after further analysis, there is conclusion that the existing left turn Q exceeds available term name storage for all approaches, excluding the northbound. And then the level service analyzed for the years, 2026, 2031 and 2046. Based on the traffic operation studies, the recommendations were to reconstruct all left turn lanes reconstruct the westbound left turn lane to have an additional westbound left turn lane. So, we'll see the exhibits in a few slides. Installed northbound channelized right turn with the old operation. And then to extend the left turn lanes. So, again, this is our project location. This is South healing street and restores in your road. So, this what we're looking at is the exhibit. This is the eastbound approach. So, the west side of the intersection. So, we, we have proposed offsetting the left turn lane. And then this is the westbound approach or the east side of the intersection. This is the additional westbound left turn lane that we just discussed. This is the south of the intersection or a northbound. And then you see the offset left turns here as well. And then finally, this is the southbound approach or a north side of the intersection. And then again, you see the offset left turn lanes. And so that is to increase the safety and visibility for these left turn movements. Project schedule, we are currently in design phase currently we're not anticipating any right of way acquisition. We are in coordination with utilities to address any potential conflicts. And then we're estimating contract execution for construction to be summer of 2024 with construction starting fall of 2024 for a duration of 12 months. And the cost of about 2.2 million contact information. So, we have David Leslie with quality engineering, our design engineer, his number is 9, 7, 2, 2, 6, 5, 7, 1, 9, 2. My contact information, Fanta Cava with the city of Fort Worth my numbers, 8, 1, 7, 6, 8, 2, 3, 1, 8, 1. And then, whether it's for this project or any city wide, we have a few options to input service request. So, we have the mic forward that for Apple, we have the mic forward that for Google. Both links are on this slide. You can text hello to 817835 my Fort Worth or 6, 939. You can call the city cost sooner at 8173921234. And then there's also a chat box on the city of Fort Worth website. So that concludes tonight's presentation and it's now open up for questions. Thank you all for joining us. Can you hear me? Yes, how are you? Hi, I'm well, thanks. Can you show the slide again for what the cost of the project is going to be? Sure, just a second. Thank you. Sure. Thank you. Will there be any changes to the northbound section of Huland at Risinger? I'll go back to the exhibit for the northbound approach. David, once I'm on that slide, do you want to give an overview of the northbound updates to the northbound approach? Sure, you bet. Yeah. So, so, Fanta's got, let me just introduce you. My name is David Leslie and she shared my contact information. I'm with Quiddity Engineering. And we've got offices scattered all over the state of Texas. And here in Fort Worth and in Plano. And so, so she's got the slide on the screen. North is looking to the right. And so the improvements here are going to be to shift that left turn lane over further into the median. And as Fanta mentioned, what that does is it creates a positive offset where you have clear visibility across the intersection to see when you can turn if you don't have that green arrow protecting your turn. So, so it provides a safer, safer turning movements there. We're also adding a channelized right turn lane that goes right there. She's pointing to it there, right? So. 2 of the other corners already have that channelized right turn lane. And so we're adding that in here on this corner. Can you go back to each 1 of those slides and speak to each 1 of them? It went so fast. We don't even know what we saw. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Fanta, you want to start? That's good. Okay. So this is the, the east bound approach. So the, the west side of the intersection north is facing up. And so there's currently a single left turn lane. And it, it sits right about where you see some striping on the on the pavement there in this proposed slide. So we're going to take that and shift it further here again to into the median to where you create that positive offset. Have a cleaner line of sight for the turning movement. So that'll be, that'll be pretty much what we're, what we're capturing for the improvements here. Can I ask you a question on that? On that slide right there? So I see that turn you have on Walgreens and some work was recently done like utility work and recent months maybe here. So at CVS corner. Are you the city considering putting the same kind of a turn at that and that corner of the CVS because there seem to be lots of space seems to be there and make it a more smooth kind of turn on that corner. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, that channelized right turn lane. Yeah, so opposite of Walgreens. Yes. Exactly. Exactly. So the traffic study did not show that that was needed at this time. And so. Certainly it could be considered in the future, but at this point, it did not include, excuse me, enhance the. It did not improve the level of service of the intersection. And so the cost of benefit of adding that at this point in time didn't prove out. Okay. Okay. Fair enough. Thank you. Sure. Okay, I see somebody's got their hand up there. Yes, that's me. Eric Janowski. Thanks. I was a little late joining your presentation. Could you remind me what's driving this. Project and by the way, the information I got on this project initially was that it was supposed to be around about, which I'm glad it's not. Um, I don't know where this information was coming from, but obviously it was an error. But what is driving this improvement? It's just the number of accidents at this intersection. It is, it's, it's the number of accidents. It's the, it's, it's the level of service that you have at the intersection. It's the, it's the number of turning movements. The schools are there, right? And so the crash data was, was high that we were seeing, so taking advantage of, you know, when we have a wide median like we have at all of these intersections, all of these legs, it allows for this offset left turn lane that will here again improve that. Uh, the same, sure. Well, I, thank you. I certainly hope it does the trick because there was just an accident yesterday morning there. Right, just to prove your points. Right. All right, thank you. Sure question. Sure. Go ahead. Thank you. Um, will there be another meeting to look at the 90% plans? So, we will have a pre construction community meeting as well. And then we'll give an update on the design plans, but we'll also give updates on what conditions you can expect very construction. Okay, thank you. Sure question in the chat. And they just make the lights turn on at each section to prevent the accidents. Um, are you mentioning like each corner of the intersection or like. The section throughout fuel and or rising there. I'm sorry, ask that 1 more time. So, are you trying to refer to like each corner of the intersection or to the. Like the roadway section of fuel and or rising there. But the street lights. Yeah, I mean, the, the, the. Without doing any pavement improvements. Trying to read time the intersection the signals. Doesn't solve the problem and so. So, so adding the here again, the additional left turn lane. And and providing the shift over in the other left turn lanes. And then here again, adding that channelized right turn. There will be new signals that are put up, but. But just doing signal work alone. Does not improve the safety of the of the intersection. Thank you, David, and then I have the westbound exhibit up if you want to give a rundown on sure, sure. Let's let's do that. Right. So this 1, this is the 1 that maybe we're seeing the most improvement on. And so, yeah, as, as phantom mentioned, this is the westbound approach or the east side of the intersection. And so, so we'll be coming into the median there and adding an additional left turn lane. And so, so our traffic study showed here that, that there was, there was sufficient queuing is what we call it when you have a lot of cars that are trying to turn and all you can't all get in the turn lane at once. And so, we're having this dual after we'll we'll conservatively improve that situation. So, so we'll be that that's the that's the extent of the improvement there. Of course, on all 4 corners, we're we're bringing up. The handicap ramps the pedestrian access as phantom mentioned will be will be improved on all 4 corners. So. This this lag of the intersection already has the channelized right turn lane there at the gas station. That that that heads northbound and so. So, here it's just just simply adding that additional left turn right. And so this is the, the, the northbound approach, the south side of the intersection we really talked through this 1, a minute ago, but just kind of repeat. So, it's. Shoving the existing left turn lane further into the median to create that positive offset and create a cleaner line of sight across the intersection. And then also adding this channelized right turn lane here to head to the east. And then this is your southbound approach or or the north side of the intersection and so. Here we're we're adding we're shifting the left turn lane over into the median. The slide, if you see it has a little. Parallax to it, and so it's the image is shifted slightly, but. But, but nonetheless, it's it's just shifting that that. Proposed left turn lane further into the median to create that that offset. We're also shifting it enough to where we can add a left turn lane, an additional left turn lane in the future. Here again, our traffic study showed that the movements are almost there to do it, but not quite. And so. So, working with the city, we've decided to go ahead and. Here again, create that now to where all they have to do in the future is just restriped that 1 area to add that additional turn lane. And then do some signal improvements just to just to be able to signal that. That other line, I believe that was it we get. I think we got all the way around there. Yeah. Yes, thank you. Are there any other questions? I have 1 another 1. Sure, so will the construction how will that take place? Like in faces, for example, the north. North found those 1st and the West, East and so on, or how was the construction going to go? Those are those are very good questions for sure. And, you know, as Fanta mentioned, we we've just completed 30%. And moving into 60% design now. So, we'll start looking at sequencing of construction. And so, you know, we certainly want to to try to get this work done as quick as we can to minimize impact. It's unfortunate that we can't just snap our fingers and boom, the improvements are there. Right. But so. So, we'll certainly be taking into account, you know, the traffic and the best way to sequence and phase the construction to to minimize the disruption during construction. Understood, thank you. It'll be hard to happen at the same time. I imagine. And so, follow up on what David mentioned, those are all great points. We will have more information on the construction phase and what conditions to expect during our pre construction community meeting. So, it's good. Thank you. I do have another question on the northbound. Direction is there is there a concrete median there that delineates that. Left turn lane is that with the gray? I mean, the green dotted spots are that that's actually going to be a landscape island. So we're trying to just incorporate as much green as we can to go back. And so. So, it pretty well that that edge pretty well lines up with what's there today. And so we'll just be kind of cutting through. The grass median, if you will, and so, so, yeah, what, what, what ends up is a is a little grass. Medium and the concrete, the new turn lane will be between between 2 pieces of grass, if you will. Okay, well, wouldn't there be like just a double turn, like you have on the other intersections on the other lanes? Well, here again, the, you know, the traffic patterns didn't didn't show that. And so didn't didn't show an improvement in the intersection for that. And so. Certainly, if it ever comes, then, you know, the ability to improve this, this, this leg of the intersection is there just simply by taking out that that that grass median there. So. So, here again, it becomes kind of a cost benefit for everything we do sometimes, you know, and so, so they were just at this point in time, there were no significant improvements for the, for the cost. Hi, this is Karina, rent area. Can y'all hear me? Yes, ma'am. Okay, so you're speaking of that air, what's view on view right now on the computer. And you just say that it's going to be a grass little. Grass and lay there and you're moving that lane to further to the left that way. I guess when we're driving, I guess we're facing east going to turn north so we can see both lanes that are turning south from the east side. Is that the the idea of that also in this in this picture that's on the screen. So, this is the, this is the north bound side. Right. And so this left turn lane here would be, you know, set up just as it is today, you know, here again, turning, you know, for turning left and heading west. And so, so the offset on the left turn lanes so for, for the southbound traffic or the opposite side of the intersection. You know, right now those those left turn lanes are far apart and you if you're if you're sitting in the left turn lane today. You kind of have to look through or over the opposing left turn. And so when you shift them in this manner that proposing. Here again, you clean up that line of sight to where I can see the traffic the through traffic heading southbound. I can I can see it much, much better, much better. Okay. Well, when you know, I live directly behind CBS or we do and I mean, we hear those accidents all the time and that seems like that's the area that they're constantly having. Um, the wrecks is because somebody is going, um, they're turning opposite, so did is that not what y'all are looking at? You're looking more that they're going east and west turning. And that's where the accidents happen. Well, I would see it turning as you're as it's visualized on the screen right now as they're turning to the west and somebody's coming and they're racing light, I guess, and they're going east. And that's where they, you know, the accidents happen. So why wouldn't a two lane two turn lane be issue or input there if that's where the impact seems to be more. Right, right. Yeah, so, so the, yeah, the, the dual left is is really so that more cars can move through the intersection. And so, but it, but it doesn't really improve necessarily the, the line of sight or, or like you say that eastbound car trying to. Trying to beat the beat the light, you know, and so, so yeah, I hear what you're saying there, you know, there's, there's, there's certainly limits. I mean, if people are trying to beat the light, you know, there's, there's limits on what engineering can do to improve that and so, you know, we're, we're, I mean, we're certainly making the intersection safer. We've, we've, we've been able to demonstrate that and working with the city's traffic department. They're, they're certainly on board. So, yeah, this is, this is kind of where we are at the 30% stage. Okay. I just, like I said, we live directly across in my backyard. Anytime there's a crash, I can see that they're going from north. The northbound traffic is going is turning west and then you've got the southbound traffic turning east and that's where the accidents happen. So, I, I mean, that's most of the accidents that I see. That's what I've seen. Now, it seems like this is going to improve more, you know, the double lane going to North Crowley, the school, which I understand that too. But I don't know. I just, I'm just trying to get clarification on that. Sure. Well, you, you brought up a really good point and, and Fanta, if, if you can back up a couple of slides to the, to the overall view. There you go. You're back one there. You're perfect. So, so, so you mentioned that the, the northbound traffic that's, that's turning left or turning, you know, heading west, right? And there, there, you know, there's collisions with the southbound traffic that's turning left and heading to the east, right? And so, so when we, when we shift these over and I don't have a very good picture of that. But when, when we, here again, so, you know, when you, when you're in these left turn lanes and you don't have a green arrow that, that's protecting your turn. You're having to look through the, the, the opposing left turn that, that people that are in that left turn lane coming south, if I'm sitting in the northbound, they're kind of blocking my view of, of any southbound traffic that's coming, right? And so, so that's what, that's what we're seeing is the, the benefit of being able to offset these left turn lanes and create a cleaner line of sight across the intersection. Okay, so that on the light, we're not going to have a protected view at all times. The light is on is it still going to be a flashing yellow light so they can turn. I mean, I think that's what it's down to is that people just don't know how to view those and they try to be whoever's coming through and they don't float it. It don't yield at the flashing yellow. And they just tried to rest through there and, you know, the result is going to be a, an accident and a lot of it does have to do. I mean, it does have to do with the students from the school because I've seen plenty of students that, you know, they just, they're new drivers and it's, it's, they, they cause that accident. Exactly. Well, I mean, there will be, there will be protected turns. You know, there will be green arrows there, but there's, you know, as, as, as a lot of intersections, you know, there's a, there's a phase during the, during the. During the intersection, during the timing that, that it might be a flashing yellow, right? And so, you know, before it goes to, before it goes to red and so, but there will be a protected protected left turn. So, why doesn't the city put a protected left turn like throughout the entire time? I'm just wondering. I mean, I just feel like that's a dangerous intersection. I mean, when you're, while you're working on it and you say it's going to improve and we see an improvement, maybe then put the yellow for, you know, the yellow flashing light to yield. But meanwhile, if y'all are working on everything, why can't we have the protected green arrow? Just for turning, is that backing up traffic too much? Is that what it is? Right. And, and I honestly, I don't have that information in front of me. To know what the signal timing is today, to know what that, what that looks like, you know, for the protected left. But I mean, you live right there, you drive through it a lot more than I, than I do, I'm sure. But, but I would, I would certainly think that there is at least some portion of that left turn that is, you know, is a protected left. It's a, it's a right. I mean, you have a, you have a green, a green right arrow to, I mean, a green left arrow to turn. And so, right, right. Then it turns, then it turns yellow and then, and then it's back to red, right. And so, so I think the signal timing, that'd be 1 thing that that certainly will be, you know, improved as you, as you go through this, this process. You know, phantom mentioned that we're also able to add some additional length to the turn lanes and the, and the cues so we can. Store more cars there, but I think here again, the natural progression is you, you know, you step through from, from a green to a, to a yellow to a red. Okay. Well, you answered my question. I was just, I mean, I can see where the backup would happen. And that's why, you know, they leave it as yellow longer because I see a lot of cars turning those 2 directions. But it just, I just wish people would slow down at the intersection, especially the youth that they just fly through their life. You know, they're at a, I don't know, at the race, race track or something. Right, right? Well, these were very good points and I appreciate you talking and, and, and asking these questions, particularly since you're. You're hearing these accidents, yes, they are alarming a day. So it's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. Well, to the city to, to forget in the project going for sure. Right, so with these improvements, I don't know if anybody asked the question about the, how much it's going to cost that comes out of our taxes, right? So we're going to have our taxes go. Correct. This is actually a bond project, right? Phantom. So, so this is, this is already something that's. I hate to say built in, but obligated, right? And so, yeah. And so our current construction cost is. It's just a little over 2.2 million dollars and so. And it's scheduled to, to, to go out for bids, you know, in summer of 24. So we're just. About a year away, a little less than a year away. And so we hope construction cost will. We'll flatten out at least, right? And, and let us, let us get this thing built for about that price. Okay, and this bond package is that is it 10 years? Is that what it is? Yeah, fancy your fancy your, you would. I'm going to have to have you help on that when I don't know what I'm going to. Uh, I hear it. Okay, sorry about that. The, the, the bond program is 4 years. I was trying to mute some people to get rid of that echo. I may have accidentally muted the person who asked the question. And I apologize if I did that. I didn't mean to, but. If you're still there, you may have to unmute and thank you for answering that question. How would we get the recording for this webinar? If you can please put your email in the chat and then. We will make sure to send you the recording, the presentation, as well as the city webpage for this project where you can get updates. And then also, I'll go back to the slide with my contact information. You can give me a call or send me an email requesting that information as well. And then I can make sure that you receive it. And go go back to the slide with the dates and the amount. I was just going to screenshot it. Well, thank you guys very much. Very important information. Sure, thank you for joining us for tonight's meeting. Are there any other questions, comments or concerns? Thank you, Fanta. This was great. I don't see any other questions in the chat. There was there is 1 email address in the chat. And we made sure to get that. I don't see any other questions though. Okay, thank you all for joining us for tonight's meeting in regards to the healing and rising your intersection improvement projects. All the everyone who's putting your information in the chat, we will make sure to get your recording of tonight's meeting as well as the presentation slides and the. The city website for this project and again, we will have another meeting for the pre construction. Once we are further with the design and we'll have updates with the expectations for construction phase services.
