 Happy happy to do it. Thanks y'all for city staff are putting this together. For the citizens, this has been a project back and forth for a long period of time. And I know there was some. I'm citizen concern about certain areas and greenery and trees and other things. And I know y'all worked really hard to do as much as we can. In that part part of the neighborhood to make sure, but I do think it's an important project across the board. This is a state project. It may be in federal. Y'all, y'all clarify that. But providing safe routes to school for kids and there are kids that are walking to school in the middle of the street. And this gives them the opportunity to be not on the street walking to and from school. And so I just thank y'all for working with the neighborhood to. To limit anything that we might have to do with greenery and trees and other parts. And. And I'm sure you'll communicate with the neighborhood as we move forward. So, I appreciate that. Thank you, council member, Brendan, you ready to go? Brendan, are you connected? Oh, no, Brandon, are you connected? Can you can you hear us? Okay. He's having technical difficulties a bit. I said, are you there? Yes. Can you hear us? We could hear you. No, that's okay. Are you ready to get started? Jeff, are we recording this meeting? Yes, it's actually already recording. I wanted to make sure if we were the council member wanted to speak that we started the recording. So we're going. Okay. Just want to make sure that everybody's aware that we are recording. Okay, Brandon, you want to get started. Thank you presentation. Well, thank you everybody for attending the pre construction community meeting for safe routes to school for the Mary Lou Phillips elementary school. City project number 102 411 and council district three. My name is Brendan McKinnis. I'm the project manager. We also have Kim Lee Horn and associates as the project engineer and the contractor is North Star construction. I believe Mr crane may have already spoke. I missed that portion. Is that correct? Yes, correct. So, city staff, I guess I'm Brendan McKinnis. I'm the project manager. We also have Lissette Osavado, who is the program manager on this call. Hello, everybody. This is Lissette. Thank you so much for joining us this evening. Project engineer is Kim Lee Horn associates. Scott Arnold is on the call for them. And we have North Star construction with Luke and micro also on the call. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information about the construction of the safe routes to school project in the Philips area. The meeting will include information for the project limits, the project scope, typical construction process, project phasing and traffic control, as well as the project schedule and notification. If you have any questions, we'll try to answer them at the end of the presentation and we ask that those are put into the chat box. The attached map is showing the overall project limits of where we'll be expecting to see construction activities within the red box. On this page, this is the M L Phillips is highlighted in blue in the center of the picture. The light by light blue cyan color or existing sidewalks in the area, as well as the yellow lines are the proposed sidewalks that we're proposing to do as part of this project. The order the streets listed here are the anticipated order the contractor is proposing to progress through the project starting with all of place, working along Locke Avenue, working Bingham Boulevard and Edge Hill Road, Mary's Lane and finishing with Curzon Avenue. The project scope is approximately a quarter mile radius around the school. We will be constructing new sidewalks, driveway week reconstruction, curb ramps, replacement of non-compliant sidewalks, as well as signs and pavement markings, including crosswalks. The typical construction process will start with notifications. We'll be putting project signs out as well as door hangers on residents and stakeholders doors seven days in advance of construction activity. We'll follow up installing traffic control, having barrels and cones in the work zone. In the areas where we're working, the contractor will install erosion control to keep any materials outside of storm sewers and storm drains. They'll proceed with clearing the site in the area of the work, conducting any underground utility work and adjustments. They're planning on starting on driveway removals and replacements on the street as part of the first phase. When this is work is underway, it's typically around a seven day process from having the driveway removed to replaced, provided that we get concrete breaks for the driveways. But there will be a period of time the driveways will be replaced that you cannot access that area. They will follow up once they have the driveways in. They're going to be working on the 88 ramps and sidewalk constructions to tie into those driveways and tie into the street crossings. They'll proceed that with landscaping and sodding of the disturbed areas. They'll clean up the area, remove their traffic control and do all their final cleanup on the street as they're moving on to the next area. These are a few pictures from a previous job that we have done with the city of Fort Worth. The picture on the left is showing a driveway being reconstructed. The picture on the right is showing that same area showing how the sidewalks will be tied into those driveways. And they have the graded on each side of the sidewalk. And then these two pictures are representing the one on the right is showing the sidewalk as a finished product on the back of the curb. On the left on the picture on the right is the same as the previous two pictures showing it fully sodded in of that same driveway and sidewalk area being constructed after the contractor has left the area. Project scheduling notification. Currently it is estimated that the project will start in April of 2022. The project duration is 270 calendar days. With an estimated completion date of March of 2023. The contractor work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. 7 30 to 8 30 and 3 30 to 4 30. Closures are prohibited immediately adjacent to the school when it's in session. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends they are allowed to work if they request. Permission in advance. Project notification. We will be putting out project signs 7 days before the start of construction. As well as placing door hangers on residents and businesses 7 days before construction. We're going to try to keep those closely moving with the work as it progresses down the streets. So you're the citizens are notified just prior to the work beginning. And the project schedule could be affected by unforeseen events such as utility conflicts or weather. So at this point I'd like to open it up to any questions anybody might have. Yes, sir. I'm going to call up on Ed chill. Unfortunately I could not get into the WebEx. I'm just here's a conference call. But where the outline is on the map that was on the flyer that was released. Are there going to be sidewalks at say on both sides of lock both sides of Ed chill. Both sides of curve on Curzon. No. The map of the area. So lock lock will have sidewalks on one side of the road, which was alternate depending on the location. Curzon will have sidewalks on one side of the road. On the west side of Edge Hill. And a little bit on the corners. You know, which was the other street that you had a question on. Well, that's where we live. Edge Hill. South of Cruz on will have sidewalk on the west side of the road on the north side of Cruz on the sidewalk will be on the east side of the road. Brendan someone in attendance would like for you to show the map again while you're explaining that please. Can you scroll back to that map? Yes. You repeat the information on Edge Hill, please. Yes. I'm going to get back to the map here. I think y'all should be able to see the map. Tell them what side of the street it's on. I mean, you can a little bit better on Edge Hill, but you said it alternates on lock Avenue. I don't see that. I don't see that. So I'll start with Edge Hill and I'll move over to lock so on Edge Hill on Edge Hill south of Cruz on the proposed sidewalk is on the west side of the road. On Edge Hill north of Cruz on the sidewalk will be on the east side of the road. On lock. Go ahead. Just saying thank you. Thank you. On lock Avenue from all of place to the text Boulevard. The sidewalk will be on the north side of the road at text Boulevard. It will transition to the south side of the road and it will be on the south side of the road from text Boulevard. All the way to Wrigley Avenue. There's another comment in the chat and asking question says, can you please tell us about the traffic control for the project that will happen while the sidewalks are being constructed. Thank you, Jen. For the traffic control during construction. The contractor will have barrels and cones along the shoulder in the lane while they're doing work. To keep safety of their employees doing the work and also keeping out people right adjacent to that area of work so you'll see barrels and cones as that work is completed those will be picked up the area cleaned up and it moved to the next work area. Did that answer the question on traffic control. I'm not sure Jay Parker you can unmute I believe and you can you can ask a question if that if that didn't help you or if you have a follow up question. I'm muted and I mean it does help some I guess my biggest concern is. It may be a different concern that with the sidewalks going in, I certainly think it's will be safer walking on this street. But there is tons of traffic on this street and people fly down this street just like they do on Edge Hill. So I don't know if I'm assuming that speed bumps that we have will not be painted or they're going to be a change in speed limit on the street. We have signs that say 20 miles an hour but it's never an enforcement of that. Do any of that get affected. We are not proposing to change any of those elements. There's another question in the chat from S Dillard and they're asking about the order of construction again. I believe you're at the correct sign. Can you please describe the order of construction again is the question. I think you're on the good slide to talk about that. Thank you. The proposed order of construction is to start on all of Avenue work up all of Avenue. Once they're complete or getting complete with all of to move on to lock Avenue. Work down lock. Towards Bingham and then they're going to work down Edge Hill. Then come back and do Mary's Lane and cruise on. Yes ma'am. My question is this. Are you going to do the driveways first and then the sidewalks after because my mom is handicapped and she's got to have access to the street either down the sidewalk in front of the house or the driveway. Are you going to do them one at a time. They they will be around the same time that if we know your address we can accommodate that access for you to make sure she always maintains access. Okay. And I have one other question. My controls for my sprinkler system is in the path of the sidewalk. Do y'all move those or do I get my people to do it. We the city is proposing or planning to adjust those as part of the project. Okay. In other words y'all will move them. Yes ma'am. We will move it just outside of the sidewalk limits. Okay. And you guarantee them because the gas company broke mine in two places and it wasn't realized until they were no longer here. And it cost me a lot of money to get it fixed. So I'm asking you. We will work with the contractor to make sure they're tested before the adjustment for operation as well as after the adjustment for operation. Okay. And when you start on my street which is Mary Lane I will talk to you at that point about access for my mother who is handicapped. Correct. Yes ma'am. Okay. Thank you very much. There's no other questions in the chat right now. Anyone is free to unmute and answer any questions or ask any questions and we'll try to help you. It's one thing to mention if you're a calling user and you're muted you can hit star six to unmute your line. Brendan this is Alan Conroy again. Yes sir. Okay. So our driveway we will not have access to our driveway during the first phase of the project. Did I understand that correctly? While they're rebuilding it there will be a period that access will not be able to be maintained. If you have a wide driveway there may be a chance to build it in portions. But most of the driveways on the project are fairly narrow which would not allow two phase construction. We have a double wide driveway street parking will be allowed. There shouldn't be a problem with street parking one hopes in that time. But I'm thinking with construction barrels and that sort of thing up it's going to get pretty tight on some of these streets. When driveways are closed and construction materials are out there and equip heavy equipment that sort of thing. Will there be additional police patrols or community patrols during that time at night? I can try to answer that question for you. My name is Buck Wheeler. I'm the commander for West Division. Yes sir. So are you asking during construction if we'll have extra patrol? Yes. Or the citizens. Go ahead. Or the citizens patrol or whatever would be appropriate. We can definitely it's really easy for us to alert the citizens on patrol or any community groups so they know. And quite often when there's construction projects as long as whether it's citizens or the construction usually we know about it. And we put it out to our patrol officers to keep an eye on do extra patrol in that area. So the short answer is yes. Well if there's construction we're going to know about it and we'll try to have a higher visibility. But it also it helps if citizens if if we see especially after hours on the construction site. If anybody sees any suspicious behavior people milling around the construction site. Definitely call us because construction sites a lot of folks will look at that as an opportunity to steal equipment as well. But the short answer is yes we'll definitely have higher visibility but feel free to call us and ask for more extra patrol that never hurts. Thank you commander. We call because I think that there's been an uptick in activity in this area already with stealing parts from cars. If they are on the street that is more likely to happen. This is officer that I'm your neighbor patrol officer. The uptick the uptick you're talking about is something I asked them to ask the originally north association to share with the group and that was just specific to some catalytic converters. As far as break ins or anything like that I haven't had an uptick in that. We did have a couple of catalytic converters hit over the last couple of weeks and that was just kind of a trend that we were seeing because of the value of the catalytic converter going up with some with some stuff going on overseas. Right. Yeah I mean I've definitely heard chatter about it in the neighborhood. I don't have a garage so I just try to back my vehicle and as close to the house as I can. I don't think it'll stop them but I have you know I also have cameras but it hasn't stopped them from trying to get into my car. No certainly not. No I mean people are going to try to get in. I mean you know they target that neighborhood and I can discuss that with you guys. I'm sure nobody you know everybody on here they want to discuss this project but you can call me. I'm your neighborhood patrol officer. I'm Officer Haddad. If you don't have my number if you want to jot that down now I'll give it to you and then we can discuss that in person but that's a 817-253-3501 and I'm your neighborhood patrol officer. Yeah I know who you are. Yeah we can catch up. Vernon there was one there's another question in the chat it's just and this may be for Jeff. It says it's asking where will this recording be available to watch again. So Jeff where can folks find the recording of this meeting. They'd be posted in two places. It'll be on our The City of Forwards YouTube channel. If you've ever gone to that it'll be listed on there but it will also be on our project page. Which I'm going to put the web address right into chat so everybody can have it. Or you can just search Phillips on the website and I'll show it that way too. Okay that's great and also I tried to put the neighborhood patrol officer's phone number in the chat. Could you please verify that and make sure I got it correct please sir. Yeah it looked like it was correct yes sir. Thank you. Thank you I appreciate that. So one other note I did put the project page link in the chat but one thing to note on that page is once construction begins in April we will be updating that page at least monthly. So you'll kind of have progress on where we are and what's next and what we just completed so you can go to that page anytime for an update. Or of course you can call the project manager if you have questions but this website would be a good place just for general high level detail on where we are on the project. I have a question. I'm on the phone call in so I can't see any chats or websites. Is there a way I can get the website for updates? So the web address is Fort Worth Texas all spelled out Fort Worth Texas dot gov. Okay. And then once you visit that if you go right in the upper right corner there's a search box and if you just type in Phillips it'll be one of the first pages to show up and that'll be the easiest thing since you can't see the link on the screen. Okay thank you. Sure. And on that if I got on there now I would be able to see details about what's going to happen and and timeline that kind of thing. The timeline isn't up there quite yet. I haven't been given that information but it'll be up probably tomorrow or Friday at the latest whatever we have but there's quite a bit of information on this project on that page at the moment. A lot of the stuff we did for the state for the funding is there so the environmental studies the manual the scope the plot the construction plans but not the timeline. So it's all on there some lot of detail for you to look at. Okay thank you. Thank you everyone. Brendan are you still there did you drop off. No I'm still here. Okay I don't see anything else in the chat. So I guess we can take additional questions if anyone has any other questions or we could conclude the meeting Jeff or do we need to stay on here for a certain amount of time I'm sorry I'm not sure about the format. If there are any more questions we can we can stop the presentation. We always stay on a couple of minutes but if anyone has any other questions feel free to ask them if not will stop the presentation in the recording and stay on for a couple more minutes. Oh Brendan this is Alan Conroy again sorry to be a pain. I just remembered we have our address on both sides of our driveway stenciled in there. Will those be replaced. I will need to verify that in the plans but I believe that is a item that will be replaced. Okay so that would be on the website in terms of specs and that sort of thing. Yes. And I will I can verify and get get back with a answer for that. All right thank you sir. Jeff we're going to be able to see who's all in attendance and are we going to be able to contact Mr Conroy and give him that answer. No. If you do have a follow up please send a foot in chat your phone number or your email or your phone number or your email or your email address. Your phone number or your email or send a private chat message to Brendan or Chad with that information so we know how to reach out to you. Also here's Brendan's contact information yes. So if y'all have any questions my phone number is listed as well as my email address. And if Mr Conroy if you can just shoot me an email or a phone call that way I have a way to contact you I will get back to you. Yeah if you're a caller you might be able to take a picture with your phone also of this so you can have the contact information as well. Brandon we can go ahead and read your phone number. Yeah I was going to say the calling people can't see the screen so please read it out. My phone number is 817-392-2817 and that is Brendan McKinnis at Fort Worth Texas dot gov b-r-e-n-d-a-n dot m-c-i-n-n-e-s at Fort Worth Texas. I'll spell down dot gov. Are there any other questions? I have a question. I went to the website and I'm just wondering if I don't know what this means on the drawings it says ex row ex row with the blue highlights. What is that? That is the existing city right of way. Oh okay thank you. You're welcome. Were there any additional questions in the chat? No there are no additional questions in the chat. I'm trying to ask a question. That sounds like someone's just unmuted phone maybe. Okay. I think we're good then. Thank you to the representatives from the city for putting this together and holding this meeting. Thank you. Are you welcome. Oh for attending. Good luck gentlemen and ladies. Thank you. I think that should conclude our presentation. And I'll stay on the chat until about seven if needed or on the call to answer any questions if anybody has some. They're late.
