 Recording, it is recording so good evening everybody. My name is just the mail. I'm a project manager for the city of Fort Worth and the transportation and public works department also on this call that I'm aware. We have Michael Crenshaw, who is going to be managing the project. Once it leaves, what we're calling project development, we have our consultant, freezing Nichols, who's been helping us develop this early day schematic that we'll be looking at. And we also have Baird Hampton of Brown, who will be our design engineer, as if this project were to move forward at their design. So, that's who we have on this call. And again, this project is for the Hall from road, a potential street drainage improvements. In the, in about the 600 block or so of Hall from road, this project is coming to you from our transportation, public works group and our stormwater management division is the sponsor for this. And it's coming out of our hazardous roadway over topping mitigation program, or our program. And the purpose of the program is to address areas in the city where we have creeks that are crossing under roadways. And ideally they should, the creek should cross under the roadway, but sometimes whenever it's raining very heavily. We wind up with water crossing over the roadway, causing a very hazardous location. And that's what we're looking at here on Hawthorne road. Currently, this project is in project development and our goal in project development is to define effective, affordable and acceptable solutions to these hazardous roadway over topping locations. We want to make sure that whatever we're, whatever we're proposing is going to solve the problem that we needed to solve. That it's going to be affordable within the city's budgets and that it's going to be acceptable not only to the city, but also to the residents and the citizens in the area. And, you know, so project development, we seek to make sure we understand the source of flooding that we're coordinating well with all the city department that we're coordinating well with external department external owners. You know, we don't want to find a 20 inch gas main that can't be moved once we get started in full design. Now, you want to make sure that we have a good understanding of the required permit. As the city, while we do ask for residents to acquire permits, we do have to get other permits ourselves from typically the US Army Corps of engineers. And we want to just make sure that we understand all the psych and strength. So that's all what we're looking at in project development. So, this side of particular Halton road, you can see here located with a star on it. We have, we have documented at least 1 high water rescue and 3 other flooding events and instances where we know that water has gone over the roadway. And that's just since we've been monitoring it. And so it's possible that it's been more frequent than what we've seen, but this is what we have documented. And so this represents the life safety hazard to anybody who might be driving in the area, especially at night where it's poorly lit and there's a really hard curve. If that, if that crossing is underwater, it's going to represent a life safety threat and potential loss of life. So that's, that's where this project is coming from. What I'm showing here is roughly the limits called out with the yellow line of what we're, what we're looking to do our improvements also shown in, in the blue shading is what's called the 100 year floodplain. And that's the regulatory floodplain that the city would have to regulate to just, just it's shown almost really just to kind of get a picture of how wide it is in that area during what's considered a 100 year event. You know, additional pictures of what it looks like today. Those of you who live out there or or have passed by here recently, you're aware of what it looks like. And in particular, if you're heading westbound on Halton coming from 121. That that turned the head from westbound Halton road to southbound Halton road is very sharp and very kind of abrupt. And so the next few slides, I want to walk through what we're currently conceptually looking at. We're still in the early days. We, we, you know, this is still a potential project. And we're at about what might be a 30% set of plan. And so what we're looking at this blue line shows the creek that's crossing Halton road with Halton road being located, right? Being being in the screen. Now, what we're looking at doing is installing larger, bigger culverts that can pass more water under the roadway instead of over the roadway. And the location of those culverts is going to be a realignment going to result in a realignment of Halton road. And next, we would potentially be, we would be installing the concrete pavement over the new culverts, as well as storm drains. And we'd be protecting the channel from erosion, reconstructing driveways. Including a channel maintenance access ramp on the, on the northwest corner there. We also are currently planning for sidewalks to be installed and that those may be installed at a future date, but we would certainly provide space at this time in keeping with the city's master therapy plan, which does call for sidewalks in this area. So that's kind of generally what we're looking at to go over a few of the just, just kind of a quick summary of this, you know, we're looking at doing this project so that we can improve the safety of the area. Reduce the likelihood of overtopping. Now we want to improve the road safety by reducing by improving that curvature in the roadway. We want to make sure that we're also coming back with concrete pavement, which is going to have a little bit longer life cycle than asphalt. And then it also allows for future flood improvements in Holton road by, by the design of the storm drain that we have. Our current anticipated project milestone schedule. Again, this is subject to change because we are fairly early on in the process. We're stating completing design in winter of 2023 bidding and awarding in spring of 2023. And construction to start in summer of 2023 construction complete in 2024. And I'll clarify there on the complete the design that's winter 2022 2023. So, you were talking November, December, January, February, that's kind of what we're meeting by winter 2023. Now, funding wise, our current estimate of this project is about three and a half million dollars and it is funded out of our stormwater utility bond. And with that, I'm going to be happy to take any questions and my contact information is on this screen. So if you'd like to contact me with any specific questions that you don't want to maybe share with the public, I'm more than happy to respond to those either by email or by phone call. Michael Crenshaw, have we gotten any questions or comments in the chat window? No, just the one question about attendees and there are, of course, some city employees, some consultants, and then there are a few call in users that are not city employees that are on the call. Very good. So with that, I'm seeing somebody by the name of spread here that I'll ask Fred if you have any questions or comments that you'd like to ask or share. If not, that's fine too. One minute. Okay. Hi. So, how are you? Can you hear us? Yes, I can. Okay. Sorry about that. So we're talking about the low water crossing that's down at that one curve, but we're not talking about any other improvements along Halton Road. Right. We're coming out of this looking at it from a stormwater perspective and where we are adjusting the curvature on the roadway to make that safer, but there won't be additional with this project additional roadway improvements. Okay. And when you're navigating this task, are you taking into consideration how much 18 will or traffic there is through there? And so that's going to be one of the reasons why we're going to look for a concrete section. Now, one of the things that we'll have to be coordinating on is during construction, what kind of detour might have to take place. But that's something that we'd be looking at as we get into design. Right. Because for years, Halton Road, that section of Halton Road has been no through traffic for large trucks, but they disregard that signage. And additionally, over the years, additional trucking companies have been allowed by the city to move in all along up and down Halton Road. Which is, you know, some of those areas agreeably are zoned appropriately for heavy industry. However, the road does not support that. And being someone that lives on the road and has to commute and battle that, I definitely agree that it's a much needed project and I see where you're coming from for this. But I would also, you know, appreciate anything that the city could do and I'd like to be heard on this because we've made multiple calls and, you know, things have just not changed. No enforcement and no improvements. And that entire stretch of Halton Road is indeed a very dangerous place to be when you're competing with these 18 willers day and night. Okay. Would you mind, would you mind maybe sending me an email? I kind of with some of your specific concerns so I can try to help relay you to the right people to talk to about that. Absolutely. I would very much appreciate that. Yeah, so if you shoot me an email there at justin.nailer at Fort Worth Texas.gov, then I'll try to make sure I get you in contact with the correct people, which it may want it being multiple people, but it'll have to depend on what you tell me. Okay, because I did leave a message because they said that there was some type of committee that was looking to improve things and I'm thinking that that's what we thought this call was about, but that's just our misunderstanding on our end, not doing a deep enough dive into what we were calling in for, but I do appreciate any help that you can give and I do agree that that curve does need some help. There is, we live there, you know, it rains and then that there's a lot of trash and debris that gets accumulated on both sides, especially the more western side of that pass. A lot of accumulation and then the water does force across the road making it very dangerous. Yeah, and that's really, we don't want to make the headlines for a very bad reason. Right location and so that's what we're trying to get out in front of. Well, we do appreciate that. Absolutely. Absolutely. But I did want y'all to be also prepared because there's a lot of trucking companies based in and out of halftime road right across the railroad tracks as you're coming from 121 all the way down to 1st street. There's multiple trucking companies that house in those different properties. Okay. Yeah, that'll be something that we'll have to make sure we coordinate with well as we go through design. You know, we will have more of these community meetings at when we get to what's called a 60% set of engineering plans. So that'd be when we have a little bit more detail. And then at a 90% set of plans and then again at a pre construction meeting where we have a contractor selected for the work. So if it goes through, we will have additional outreach so you can be looking forward to that if this one goes through. But we will try to make sure the document that we need to take close coordination as far as especially once construction starts that we're coordinating closely with any trucking companies along the roadway. So they know if the road's having to close and all that kind of thing. That sounds excellent. Thank you so much for your time. You're welcome. Thank you for your input. Yes, sir. And so I see we have a call in user. Feel free to unmute yourself or we'll unmute you here if you if you'd like to speak feel free to. Hey, Justin, it's just Scott, you've been here. Oh, hey, Scott. Thanks for coming in. I appreciate it. Yeah. Well, I don't see any other comments. I think with that, we can probably go ahead and conclude the meeting and, you know, again, if anything comes up, feel free to shoot me an email or give me a phone call. I may not have the answer right away, but it would be my goal to find the answer or find the right person to give you the correct answer. So with that, I think we'll go ahead and stop recording and we'll go and call the meeting to an end. I appreciate everybody's time and I appreciate your input on this meeting. So thank y'all. Y'all have a good, y'all have a good evening. You see y'all later. Bye bye. Thank you.
