 Sorry, it wouldn't switch over to the next slide. So, welcome to the community trail street and drainage improvements public meeting. And thank you for participating tonight. Joining us tonight is Mike Bennett, the project manager. Randy, the project engineer who's with Pate Dawson engineers. And I am the assistant project manager, Jane Woodmer. Tonight, we will discuss the project background, the scope. The project details and then after that, we will take any questions that you might have. For those of you new to this project is located on the east side of Lake worth on the Southwest side of State Highway 199. Or Lake worth Boulevard and north of Interstate Highway 820. Cementi trail borders between the city of Fort Worth and Lake worth. We have been collaborating with Lake worth city manager Stacy almond and her staff. For those of you who live close by, you know that the watershed flowing into the lake, which would be on the top of the screen. At the community crossing is high and can be quite dangerous at various times of the year. The hazardous roadway overtopping is precisely the issue that we are addressing with this project. Here's an image of existing conditions at ground level looking West. Here's an aerial view of existing conditions. The blue line is the stream like worth would be at the top of the screen and consider downstream. Upstream is south of the command to trail crossing. We are currently at 60% in the design. Here is the general overview of what is planned. We propose a wider and straighter roadway. The roadway will also be raised over the crossing. We will increase drainage capacity by adding larger culverts that will accommodate a 100 year storm. The added culverts will be arched. There will be a rock drop structure at the upstream side. And there's a plan to preserve the rocks from the old culvert and add them to as a landscaping feature. We will include pedestrian sidewalks and rails on both sides of the crossing. There will be water and sewer relocation around the improvements. We will also add culvert drainage on guard rails. But above all, the objective is to create a safe crossing when the water level is high. The anticipated completion for design is May. 2022 the bid and award of the project for construction will be fall 2022. The start construction will be spring 2023. And construction completion completion will be spring 2024. That funding is estimated around $4 million and is funded by the storm water revenue bond funds. Once complete, the view, the view of Comanche trail shown to the right of the screen will look quite different. And ultimately be a safer crossing when the water is high. And that concludes the overall presentation. Here is the contact information for both me, Jane Widmer and Mike Bennett, who's the project manager. This presentation will be posted on the project website listed on the bottom at the bottom of the slide. Now that we've come to the question part of the presentation, Mike Bennett and Randy Haney will help in answering any questions. Mike and Randy, would you please identify yourself before answering any questions? Please. And I'm going to turn it over to Mike Bennett right now. Thank you, Jane. So we do looks like we have some. People on the in the meeting today. And so, first, I'll open it up to any doesn't look like we have any questions in the chat. But everybody right now should be muted. So, if you would like to be unmuted, there's a. It's at the bottom of your screen, there should be an unmute button. If you want to ask. Any questions. All right, was that the landers? I could not understand that question. Is that Scott and Cindy Landers? Looks like you guys might be on mute. I'm afraid that it's the connection is really, really poor right now. I, I stop talking when you start, I'm sorry, it's really having trouble. Can you type you would never have to type in your question? Would you? I'm sorry, it's just not coming through. Well, yeah, Ms. Landers, I hate to keep traveling down the same road. Is there a way perhaps you can reach out to me tomorrow and we can discuss. I can help you with some of your questions. Cause I just, I'm afraid we're just not able to get. Able to hear you I do want to reach out. There's a calling user. I'm going to need you real fast electricity. Right now. So, oh, goodness. Sorry. Commence at that. Oh, Frank, we lost you again. This is more of a McCartney. I have a question. Yes, sir. Please go. Okay. Can you hear me now? Yes. Go ahead. Okay. I wasn't sure if it was talked about, but what is the plan for? If any, for I know that you said that there's a plan to reroute some of the drainage, but. Is there something that's going to be done in the plan to capture. Trash and stuff that comes down the drain. Before it gets down into the lake, we have, we've looked into that thoroughly. And the issue can the issue that we've come across is. We have not been able to find there is not not a way to maintain. That trash collection system we've looked at several different. Groups and departments and that is just not. It's not something that we've been able to accomplish an example would be. Typically our storm drain maintenance folks after a strong rain because the problem is with the trash racks, they require. Uh, continue in constant maintenance basically after every rain. Because all they do is collect that 1st, that 1st flush of trash. And unfortunately, after each rain event, we've got to get the storm water field ops. We're going through and collecting up or fixing drainage issues that are out there. Basically. Blockages and stuff that occur and so. At this time, unfortunately, that is not that's something we're not going to be able to. Add to this project, but we did look into it. Okay, thank you. Okay, so the question that we have here in the chat. Hi 1 question is, will the community trail be totally closed for the year? So it shouldn't it should not require closing for the full for the full year. There will be a road closure on that. That is something that we will have a better answer. We're about the 90% submittal our next submittal. We'll the engineer will look through and determine how long a closure would be required for this. And for this crossing, so. We don't have that answer today, but we will stay, stay tuned. We will have that for the next meeting. Okay. Are there any other. Questions again, I hope everybody is saying staying safe out there. We will have we, we have been recording this meeting. And so this will be posted. At the address at the bottom of the screen of the slide. So you can you can play this over again. And share it with others that may not have been able to make this meeting. Actually, it was also posted into the chat as well. I will say, if anybody has any additional questions, please reach out to me. If you weren't able to get get your question in. Also, if you have any friends or neighbors that we're not able to make the meeting due to the weather tonight. Please share the my information with them and. And ask them to reach out to me because we do our big thing is we do want to educate people on the projects that we have. And we want to we want to be responsive to your questions. But if there are no additional questions. And I don't see anything in the chat, we're going to go ahead and. Wrap up this meeting. So, thank you for everybody coming out tonight and.
