 and Trail Sands and Road Widening Project for the great city of Fort Worth. At this time, I would like to share with you what this project entails and how beneficial these improvements are for the traveling public. The introduction for this meeting will be as follows. It will be an introduction of the project team, the project manager's role, the project map and overview, the scope, schedule and budget, contact information, information about my Fort Worth app, and then questions at the end. The city's project team is comprised of myself, Alex Ciella. I am the senior project manager for the transportation and public works department, capital delivery, arterial team. Rob Lopez is the arterial team program manager. The city has procured the services of Burgess and I for who will serve as the engineering consultant for this project. Billy Wendland and Jimmy Mullins are the project managers for this project. My role as the transportation project manager is to be the professional responsible for resource coordination, procuring and managing contracts and services for the delivery of a project whose limits and scope are predefined by the transportation planners. Burgess and I are the city's consultant project managers responsible for the design and coordination of the resources needed for the survey, right away acquisition, utility locations, permits and metals, bidding and construction management, and ensuring that the elements of the predefined scope are included in the final design. This project is located in North Fort Worth within the Northeast quadrant of 820 and interstate highway 35 W. The Western limits of the project are at the Mark 4 Parkway roundabout. Continuing needs approximately 2500 feet and connecting to the future interstate highway 35 self found frontage road. Text, is currently working on extending the frontage road that terminate south of Western center Boulevard to the future expansion of the Mark 4 Parkway and Lupe 20 intersection. The projects scope will include widening the existing two lane road between Mark 4 Parkway and the future text on interstate highway 35 frontage road to a four lane divided roadway. Connect Cantrell Sanson Road to the future southbound frontage road. And construct medians and shared use paths on both sides of the roadway. Currently Cantrell Sanson is a two-lane roadway with side road digits east of the Mark 4 roundabout. The road currently dead ends east of Old Denton Road at the tech stop right of way. The proposed improvements include widening Cantrell Sanson Road from a two-lane roadway to a four-lane divided collector, beginning at the Mark 4 roundabout. There will be a medium break at Flippenway, which will allow egress and ingress to the crossing at Fossil Creek residents. And to the warehouse on the south at 5600 Cantrell Sanson Road. At the intersection with Old Denton Road, a dedicated left turn lane will be constructed for northbound travelers. The warehouse at 3098 Cantrell Sanson Road currently has a driveway at the eastern side of the building. And they turn only medium break will be constructed at this driveway. A full median opening cannot be placed at this location due to the proximity of the connection to the intersection with the future Interstate Highway 35W frontage road. The pavement widening will consist of two 11 foot lanes in this direction and a medium about 17 feet wide. 10 foot wide shared use paths will be constructed on both sides of the roadway. The project is approximately a half a mile in length. The tentative construction start date for this project is in the spring of 2023. The project budget is $4.9 million dollars with the construction cost estimate for the roadway approximately $2.7 million dollars. Text dot anticipates completing the frontage road in the summer of 2021. At this time, I would like to share with you the city's my Fort Worth app, which is the official app for residents and visitors to quickly and easily report issues to the city of Fort Worth. Residents are able to take a picture of any issues they encounter on Fort Worth right away and send it directly to the city. The app is capable of sending precise coordinates, which will allow city staff to locate the issue and allocate the necessary resources to resolve the issue. The app is available through the App Store and Google Play. If you have any questions or comments about this project, please submit them via this WebEx portal. This slide has my contact information, as well as the information for the city's traffic division. In the event you have any traffic concerns. I would like to thank you for your time and for your participation as we navigate online public meetings during this unprecedented time. Stay safe. So this is Raul Lopez. Good afternoon, everyone. I am the program manager of the arterials group. And there is a couple of questions already in the chat. First question is how close will the road be to the residential fences? Alex, do we have that distance or Billy? Billy, are you on the presentation? So Billy is our consultant engineer with Burgess and Mapple. I'm thinking it's about a good 22 to 25 feet from the back of the curb. Do we have the section, Alex? Can you scroll to the section? There we go. So according to this is about 29 feet. Is this section accurate, Billy? So according to this section is about 29 feet from back curb to proper line, which is where the fences are going to be. Or should be, I should say. Second question is, will there be any noise reduction for residents? Landscaping, taller fences, sound reducing windows. I don't believe we will have noise reduction treatment typically on arterial products. Noise reduction is not provided. That's more so for the freeway thoroughfares. Arterial thoroughfares do not remedy the amount of noise that requires sound mitigation. So Alex, correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no sound mitigation on this project. No sound mitigation. Okay. Next question is why widen the road when traffic is minimal right now? Yes, traffic might be small right now, minimal right now, because it's a dead end, number one. This will provide kind of activity from the future frontage road that Texas is going to construct. And it provides connectivity to Mark IV and others. So it will provide relief to Western Center and access to Mark IV from A20. So it's an alternate route that's being provided once that service road is constructed. Next question is, will it directly across from the driveway? We need noise reduction. The trucks rattle the spout hanging on the wall. Yeah, typically we don't provide noise reduction. That noise reduction requires very tall walls or fences. And they can't just be fences. They can't be the standard picket fences and it can be solid walls. And that's not included in the budget of these types of projects. Typically the city of Fort Worth or most municipalities do not provide sound barriers. Again, those are typically more so for freeways where traffic is driving by at higher speeds and no soft conditions. Next question is, will this cause any closure in the roads for the time being? Will there be detours or will we be able to transit the area as normal? Bailey or Alex, do we have a traffic control identified at this time? At this time, we do not have a traffic control phasing because we're barely in the conceptual phase of design. But as those plans evolve during time, if we do have to have a detour, we will definitely notify the community, the HOA, that lives right there adjacent to the roadway. And there will be other communities. And this is James Vaughn's with Bert and I want to add that we will be making every effort to make sure that they have access to the warehouses at all times so they don't have to shut down. And while we're doing that, we'll also make sure they have access to Flip and Way. And there will be other community meetings as we progress the design and before we start construction. So those things will be communicated to the community via community meeting. Will the new road be at the same elevation as Flip and Way? Most likely the road will actually be at a lower elevation in order to get the drainage to work. That is something we haven't finalized yet. We will be working up Flip and Way a certain distance and get it to connect to the existing elevation. What is the start date? It's the spring of 2023. We say spring, it could be anywhere from March to May, June of 2023. At this time, it's too early to identify an exact month and a day. But again, as we progress the design and production of the construction documents, we will have other community meetings and we'll let you know with more precision when that day is. Are there any future plans to fix the road in the opposite direction going towards Thulemount Road? Not quite sure. Is that... Yeah, I'm not... At this point, I'm not aware that we have any plans to improve in this area other than this segment that we have identified right now. If the road will increase traffic, we will need noise reduction. You should spend the night in our house. This is terrible. We understand, yeah, when you're used to having a basically a dead end street, you don't... You have to hardly have any traffic. But unfortunately, we need to provide relief for other arterials in the area. And like I said, typically noise reduction is not provided in any other arterials. There's a roundabout at the west end of Mark IV and that basically tends to slow down traffic as you approach a roundabout. And so, yeah, there won't be any noise reduction. We don't provide noise reduction on city arterials. That's correct. We will design a traffic control plan that will attempt to prevent traffic, truck traffic from driving through the subdivision. We don't want that. I agree with that. Will there be landscape added on the sides to the home? Is there any landscape on this project, Alex, Billy? No, there is not. Just basically thought, yeah. Our typical soil stabilization or ground stabilization is basically putting sod or seed and re-vegetating the stirred area with grass. Why is there going to be a 10 foot wide sidewalk? This is consistent with other satellites. So the 10 foot sidewalk, it's not a... We don't call it a sidewalk anymore. It's a 10 foot share path shared by pedestrians and bicycles. The complete streets policy that the city has in the last few years requires that we provide all the most transportation, the same opportunity to use the road or the right of way. So we are providing the traffic lanes for vehicles, but we're also providing wider sidewalks or share paths so that we can accommodate pedestrians and bicycles and keep the bicycles off the vehicular pavement. Will the utilities be relocated on the ground? Alex, I don't think we will. Will they? If you're talking about the power lines, those will remain aerial. Perfect. So that's the last question that I'm showing. If anyone has any other questions, please post it to the chat room. So this... With this improvement, some people are thinking that this is the value of their property. With this improvement, actually, you will improve access to your homes, to the freeways, and that will relieve other thoroughfares, condition other thoroughfares. Will there be access into 35 from this area? Alex, I believe they can cross from Flipping Way, Mecca Left, and access the frontage road. That's correct. Currently, for those that have seen that dead end of the frontage road just south of Western Center by the new hotels, Text Dot is currently connecting that frontage road. What it's going to do, it's going to go parallel to Interstate Highway 35 and parallel to Loop 820 and make a full circle and tie into the future expansion of Mark IV Parkway. So you will be able to, A, get on 35 the way you usually do now, going down south off Mark IV Parkway, or you'll be able to loop around now and offer this new frontage road. Are there recommendations being made for the oil and gas road? We're just going to put a drive approach onto that, just like any other driveway on the corridor. So they'll be able to make a right turn and get onto the freeway. Westbound will have to go to the roundabout and make a U-turn to be able to access that driveway, correct? Yes, in order to enter. Depending on the vehicle size. Yes. Smaller vehicles will be able to turn out the sleeping ways. Am I correct? No, the oil and gas road is actually just immediately, it's the next driveway after the sleeping way to the east. The driveway right across the sleeping way actually goes into the DHL supply chain warehouse. And that goes into the oil, into the oil, gas and oil wells is the one directly east of it. What will the hours of construction be? The warehouses are allowed to work in the middle of the night. We are anticipating the construction will be during the day. City standard hours, a lot of work hours, 7am to 6pm Monday through Friday. No holidays. Work is not allowed on holidays. On city holidays, I should say. How long is the project estimated to take a few months or a few years? What's the construction duration? Our preliminary estimate is probably going to be about a half of a year, maybe a little less. About 6 months. Is all Denton going to be widened as well? Not at that time. The intersection at Old Denton is going to be the fully developed intersection, but it's then going to taper down to its existing size. There are no plans that we're aware of to widen it, but if they are, they'll be able to connect to the intersection that we're building with this project. Just north of this project, Old Denton is a five-lane road and then it squeezes down to two lanes. We're making the intersection somewhere between the two. If Old Denton is later expanded, there's no short period where it's only two lanes. It'll be able to connect to the intersection we're building. If they leave it as it is, it'll function just fine. I think you're trying to answer the question as to what fully developed means. Yes, about the old intersection. So it's a fully widened, basically. That's what fully developed means. Will there be a roundabout at Old Denton? Not at this time. It'll be a traditional intersection. Many southbound people on I-35 will be cutting through on cantaloupe sounds, especially westbound A-20 traffic. The sound barrier is definitely appropriate, exceptions should be made. If you're in a freeway and you're headed, you're going to continue going on A-20, there shouldn't be a reason why you would be cutting through on that series, construction on A-20 or any obstruction. That will happen in getting thoroughfare. That's part of the purpose of thoroughfares. When the freeways are jammed up or there is an accident, the thoroughfares provide relief for the freeways. That's part of the network, unfortunately. There shouldn't be a reason why people will be cutting, trying to go through a roundabout to get to A-20 west. If they're going to a destination west, so absolutely, yes, they will be cutting through there. That's the purpose of the arterial to provide access to those areas without having to go for the freeway. And also keep in mind that textile is currently working on expanding that frontage road. So if people get off on Western Center just to bypass whatever may be going on at the Mixmaster, they will probably go straight on the frontage road because that's the path of least resistance to get to Mark IV. So keep that in mind as well that part of the improvement for textile is expanding and connecting that frontage road. Do you have Cantrell-Sanson road fixing from the elementary school? I need to look and to see exactly where the Blue Mound and Fort Worth city limit line is located. I'm not sure if the west of the Whiten section of Cantrell-Sanson is actually city of Fort Worth. But I can definitely get back with you with that with the person to contact. Could there explain the interest and interest of the warehouse? Alex, can you elaborate that on that? Which the warehouse on the west or the warehouse on the east? The question doesn't specify. So why don't we just address both? So at the warehouse, for the warehouse at 5600 Mark IV Parkway, you will have an entrance here. Can you guys see my cursor? Yes. Okay. There will be an entrance here at this, at this medium break. At the warehouse on the... Alex, sorry. Can you go back? Right there? So, yeah. Westbound traffic will take the left-turn lane. There's a left-turn lane designated by that pink purple line just immediately adjacent to it. And so going westbound traffic will use that left-turn lane and then enter the driveway for the warehouse. And then going eastbound, they'll use the driveway and then make a right to go to the freeway. And if they're going westbound, going out of the warehouse, they will turn left and go westbound. So you do have a full access meeting opening at this driveway. At the warehouse on the east side of the project, you will have an entrance here, but you will not have a... The median, we cannot put a median break because here, to allow people that are going westbound to enter this driveway unless you turn here. So let's say, for example, the trucks that are maybe coming off of Western Center, they will have to come down this road, go straight, and you turn at the roundabout at Markwell Parkway, which is about 1,100 feet from this driveway. Now, the folks that are coming out of your facility here, they'll be able to make a left out of this driveway to go westbound. And as well as any trucks coming out of this driveway, they'll be able to make a right turn here and go back and catch interstate highway. The frontage road for IH 35W. And then you also have access here on the driveway to the west of the building. And if you have further questions about circulation on your building or want to discuss this further, please take note of my phone number and my email. And I would definitely set up a time to talk to you or any other issues or specific questions you may have. So there's a comment that diagram appears to show a median. Yeah, there is not sure what that intends to convey, but there is a median. So the median is a solid part of sort of the lighter gray, shown by the light gray. And there's a median opening at Old Denton, but that will only be able to, that is to allow traffic coming up of Old Denton to go eastbound. That's the purpose of that median opening. Lexington will be from the highway. It will be from the frontage road. That's correct. The entrance to Cantrell-Samsung up of United State 35W will be off the frontage road, not directly from the freeway lanes. There won't be an off-ramp from the freeway to get to Cantrell-Samsung. So anyone coming or trying to access Cantrell-Samsung will have to exit Western Center and then continue southbound on the frontage road and then access Cantrell-Samsung. That is correct. East truck entrance. I'm not sure what that intends to address. East truck entrance. I'm not sure if he's talking about this. So this sentence basically would be limited or eastbound traffic only. And then westbound, of course, outbound and westbound traffic. So anyone exiting out of that drive will have to go, I mean, will be able to go westbound. Right, right here. Yeah. But that traffic won't have access also to the frontage road. From Nafexway point. I think that's clarifying where the tidal limit is from Nafexway on Cantrell-Samsung. I'm not sure where Nafexway is. It should have been in PM for the trucks from the east side. Yeah, they're going to be a median there. That is too close to the frontage road and that's not, they cannot maneuver. That's too close to the frontage road. Trucks would never be able to maneuver safely and stay out of the way for the, out of the, out of the way for the oncoming traffic coming up in frontage road. It is a challenge to have a meeting opening for every single driveway on, on whether it's streets or private driveways or private, private property. Unfortunately, once a meeting opening cannot be provided for all of the driveways or all of the cross streets because of the space and limitations, especially in an area where you have industrial usage. High truck traffic. Are these plans finalized or still a work in progress? This is what we call the 60% right Alex? It's, it's in between a 30 and a 60. Okay. So they're not final. There's, there's more. There are more details to be added. But the general, the general configuration is, is what's going to be developed given the spatial constraints and the traffic on the road, the anticipated traffic on the road. That's it. Now that's the last question. There was a person that had a question about. Good contact about widening a different section of capital Samsung. So that's where the app that Alex was fishing. Right. One, can you bring it up one slide up? Alex to the app. Oh, okay. Yeah. I thought with that. That is where that app is very convenient. This app is not just for. To let the city know where you might think road windings or road improvements are needed. This is for any kind of concerns, whether it's garbage pickup, you know, both compliance or non-compliance. Any kind of concerns or any kind of issues that you might think the city might be interested in knowing. You can use that app, take pictures, upload them and that was girl. The information will be routed to the specific department that needs to address it depending on the name of the information that's provided. So, I think we have a few more questions. What do we need to do to get City Hall to create a budget to raise a wall between old and turn mark for. I wish I could tell you we can, but. Or narrowly, I mean, we have tons of lane miles of arterials and we do not provide. Noise walls. I know. It is, it is hard to get used to added noise because the road was closed all the time. Because it's a bed and basically, and you have very little traffic, but unfortunately that's, that's what the arterial is, is meant to do is to grow as traffic grows to provide mobility. For all this traffic that that's trying to move from point A to point B. Noise noise walls again are typically provider and pre-waste because traffic is moving at 55, 60, 70, 80 miles per hour and trucks and. All the vehicles are moving nonstop, that's why they're freeways and so this kind of conditions. This is probably a 40 to 45 design fee. And it is likely that the actual speed is going to be 35 of them all because because of the proximity of the roundabout and the intersection with flipping way. So. If we won't be any different than any other arterial workers, there's no no noise walls. Is DHL be consulted in planning process? Where is DHL? Is that at the corner? They have both warehouses. Both warehouses on the south side of the of the right away are DHL. And we have not, we have not consulted with DHL on them. We were, but we definitely can can talk to them if they have any questions. They can definitely call me and we can set up a meeting. Yeah, we probably need to, maybe we need to reach out to them Alex and make sure that they are aware of what the improvements are going to be like and how it's going to impact them. Any chance of getting the HL to relocate their entrance to the front roadside? I do know the frontage roadside has a very large elevation difference between the DHL. It's not even a DHL property. They're renting it from someone else. There's a very large elevation difference and there's going to be a lot of storm drain improvements being put in with the tech stop plans. I don't think it's feasible for them to have access on that side. The Western DHL property does have access on mark four. I don't know if it's used as much as the Cantrell Samson Road though. So that's the last question. Contact information is on the slide. Feel free to contact her by phone or email and she'll be glad to answer any other questions you may have. No more questions. I appreciate your time to to get on this presentation. And again, I want to thank you all for being resilient and helping us do this and navigate these online WebEx meetings. So if you have any questions or concerns, please by all means, please give me a call. One more question. I mean, is there a chance of creating a road for mark four past the first building to the 3000 building? Like a shared use path of some type. Building to the 3000. The 3000 is the second building I guess. Is there a chance of creating a road? Yeah, that would be a private road. That would have to be funded by the owners of the buildings. And have a common access between the two sites. Right. I understand, we appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah, there's no further questions. We're going to end this presentation and and once again, feel free to contact me. My number is 817-392-8883. And I'd be glad to answer any questions. We appreciate everybody's attendance and we appreciate the patience. I know this is a little, a little awkward. It's kind of interaction work. You cannot speak. You have to type your questions that we're all getting used to it or trying to get used to it. We all appreciate your patience and your attendance and your comments. And again, there will be another one of these when we reached the probably the 90% milestone of the project. And you will be notified just like you did for this one. Thank you very much and have a good evening.
