 So that's great. That's great. Okay. Come on. Don't be dramatic. Stop. Okay. Sorry. I'm sorry. Okay, guys, just a couple more minutes. I went ahead and hit record just because I was able to help with that one item. Thanks for all the confidence in me, Laura. No, I'm just kidding. Thank you for doing that. Just about another minute. Good evening, Jim. Thank you for joining. Give us about another minute. We should get started. I'm sorry. Good evening. Good evening. Looks like he has joined. Who's joined with the RTC? Good evening. This is Peter Torres with the RTC. Said Peter Torres. Yes, sir. Very good. Peter. Thank you for joining. We may have some questions folks may have for the for the contractor. Thanks, Peter. No worries. Yeah, yeah, we can go ahead and get started. I was just going to let you know that don't see anyone on the call from the council member's office. So just letting you know that. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you everyone for joining as a reminder. If we can everybody mute that would be very helpful. At the end, please feel free to unmute yourself and. And we can have we have some questions and answers at the end. So, thank you everybody for joining the free construction community meeting. We're going to be talking about the traffic's new traffic signals and pedestrians improvements. At forest park Boulevard and West 10 street again, that is council district number 9. The city project number is 1, 0, 3, 9, 9, 7. I am Seth Cooke see with the city of Fort Worth. I am the project manager. We have the program manager here as I mentioned chat. He's on the call. We also have the design engineer, the consultant with Binkley barfield Derek Sweeney. He's on the call and finally we do have with that is the contractor. We have Peter Torres. Quickly go over the agenda. We're going to be talking about the project scope and goals of the project. We're going to be talking about the project location very briefly. We're going to be spending a little time on project details. We're going to talk about the typical construction process. The construction schedule and finally show the contact information. You might want to take a screenshot of that slide when we get there. Project scope and goals, we're going to install the new traffic signals, pedestrian signals. And we're also going to be doing a little bit of modification of the nose in forest park Boulevard. We're going to be restricting the entire intersection and doing some modifications to those sidewalks. And again, thanks for muting everyone. Thanks for muting. If you can please mute the objectives, including improving traffic flow at the intersection during peak hours. By reducing stop delay and improving side street access to force park from West 10. This project will improve pedestrian safety at the intersection because we're installing pedestrian actuated signals with push buttons. And then, of course, we're installing the complaint per ramps. This project was funded by the 22 bond. I think everybody's familiar with the project location. We're here at the force park and 10th over on the west side of downtown. You can see the 7th street is here. You can also see the Trinity River in this little. In this little map, but close up we have a we have a close up of the intersection at force park and West 10th. So right now. Um, this we have just the stop sign. I think most people are familiar with this and we're going to be doing some some improvements at this intersection. What are we going to be doing? Well, we're going to be adding the big things we're going to be doing. You're going to be noticing is traffic signals. Everybody's familiar with those the configuration. If you care, it's on the left side there. We've got traffic signals at the northeast corner. Of the intersection, we have traffic signals on the south side of the intersection also on the west side near the park. So, those are the big traffic signals going in. I just want everybody to really get a good understanding of the traffic signals and where they're going. Also going to be doing full pavement markings. We call it striping. We're going to go to all new striping at that intersection. The entire intersection will be restriped and we're basically redoing the striping. There is that striping now, but it'll be all new striping. But a big thing I wanted to talk about here is the idea that we are not changing any traffic patterns here. With the striping, so everything that is there, what you're normally used to it, obviously, except for the stop sign. You will be continuing through that with that traffic flow. And that's what we're doing here signage. As you can see, you can imagine a new intersection improvements here. I was going to have new signs, we're going to be putting all new sites, making sure that the, all the traffic, all the cars and all the pedestrians in the area know what the cars are supposed to be doing. The cars will know what they're doing and it'll be very clear. And you can see on the left side, the, the new signage going in traffic control. I, you know, we may want to come back to this slide, but basically the contractor will be preparing and submitting a traffic control plan. I and my bosses and others will be looking at that from the city's perspective to make sure the contractors kind of dotted all his eyes and crossed all his teas. That meets the city standards and there's obviously safe and keeping the workers safe. Also keeping the pedestrians and the vehicles out of the construction area. You know, it's important to note that the traffic signals are outside of the roadway. But just because they're outside the roadway does not mean there will not be a construction in the roadway. So, we will have some temporary lane closures during active hours, even short term, sometimes short term lane closures can be expected, especially when that we're working on that median nose modifications. But again, I want to make it very clear that the idea here is that we are, and I know that the contractor will be is on board as well. We're keeping the plan on keeping a 1 lane open in each direction. So, there will always be flow through here at all times, you know, and when I say all times, you know, you can imagine 99.9% of the time. Obviously, there are situations where we're moving certain things across doing that. So, very briefly, there could be additional lane closures, but the idea is that for the most part, we are going to keep 1 lane. At least 1 lane open in all directions on this project during the entire construction phase of this project. What does the typical construction process look like? Well, we start with door hangers all the businesses in the area. There are quite a few will go out and we will hang the door hangers to let you know that the that the construction is about to start. There will be a large project sign placed on the at the site. It gives you more information about the project and what's going on. The traffic control then starts to be set up. You'll see those cones and those those barriers going up those big orange ones. And you'll know that there's construction in the area. All of a sudden, you'll start seeing the big signals and the mast arms, the poles, I should say the signals and mast arms being delivered out to the site and then installed that that that median nose will be some construction in the center of that of the of the at the median there working on that nose modification as those are being put a fixed up as those are being completed. You'll see some landscaping sautting. They'll be fixing things up starting to make it look pretty again. And then the moment of truth almost when you have the traffic control is starting to be removed those cones and those barriers are are taken away. And then finally, the cleanup and I'm sure the contractor is going to do a fantastic job with the cleanup and everyone's going to be very happy. I'm very sure of that. And that is the process. What's the schedule look like the design right now is obviously complete. We're talking about construction. We're hoping to go to construction end of may could be early June. I wanted to remind everyone that we this project didn't require additional right away and there was there should be no utility relocations that should help the project go along very smoothly. We're figuring it could be up to 6 months for this project. So, therefore, we're looking at the end of the year for complete or very early in 2025 to be complete working hours are standard in this project. We don't see any need to adjust those 7 to 6 Monday through Friday. And if requested and required and approved 9 to 5 on the weekends again, we will have those project science door hangers. We talked about earlier. I just wanted to, as a reminder, and it's underlined here, the 6 schedules can always be affected by unforeseen events such as utility conflicts or weather. Yeah, we've had bad weather in this area in the past, as I'm sure. Most people know, but we're not, we're hoping for nothing, nothing too severe on this 1, nothing to hold us up. Finally, this is the contact information. Feel free to take a screenshot or take a photo of this screen. If you have questions, you can contact myself, Seth, I'm the project manager and the design engineers, Derek, our contact information is here. Please feel free to call or send an email. I think emails are probably a little easier for us, but. If you see something out there that does not look right, please feel free to give us a call. We can handle that quickly in in in that case. This slide again, feel free to take photo of this slide. This is talking about the app. You know, with this app, the my for worth app for Apple or Google. There's a lot you can do with that. You can actually report different things. You're seeing. You get more information on different things that are going on with the city and this project and you could download that app from this from the app store for Google or Apple. Also, the city call center. If you have other questions, this can be quite helpful and that's it for the presentation. So feel free to unmute and ask those questions. If you have any. If not, no worries, that just means I did a great job and I answered all your questions already. But please feel free to feel free to ask any questions. So, folks can also input questions into the chat. I muted everyone earlier at the beginning. It seemed like we were having some problems with that. I don't know if I should unmute everybody or people can individually unmute themselves. I hope they can. Okay, yeah, it says it says people can unmute themselves now. So, if they have any questions, they should be able to unmute themselves. They can also enter questions in the chat set. I'm monitoring the chat and right now, I do not see any questions in the chat.
