 Please meet yourself during the meeting so we can, so everyone can hit a discussion and we ask that you post any questions in the chat box and we will address any questions at the end of the meeting and then we will open it up if there is any additional discussion. So please meet yourself and also this meeting is being recorded. This is the community meeting for a Golden Triangle Boulevard, Misty Redwood Trail to Interstate Highway 35 West. My name is Leon Wilson. I'm the City Project Manager in Transportation and Public Works. My contact information is on the screen, Leon.Wilson at FortworthTexas.gov, 817-392-6591. Phillip Graham is also with us today with We're Associates. There are the Youth to Design Project Manager for our engineering consultant, which is We're Consultants. The agenda for today, we'll go over some project history, location map, the existing conditions for the project, a project description, exhibit, a brief status update, as well as a project schedule. And we'll take questions and I'm at the end. So just to give a little project history, because it's been some time since this project was first introduced. In June of 2018, City Council approved the engineering contract and it was part of the 2018 bond program. At that time, it only included intersection improvements at Harmon Road, which were around about at the time. So in January of 2019, we had a community meeting to present the roundabout design at Harmon Road. And in August 2019, based on the feedback from the community, the project description was changed to replace the roundabout design with a signalized intersection at Harmon. And there was a lot of feedback to extend the limits of the roadway improvements, which now go from Misty Redwood to I-35. So we, we had to go back and essentially scope the project over because it initially was just the intersection around about. So in April 2020, City Council approved the engineering contract amendment for the design changes that included, as I mentioned, a signalized intersection at Harmon. And we extended the project limits to Misty Redwood Trail and I-35. So between May 2020 and December of 21, I'm sorry, we redesigned the intersection. We designed the roadway improvements to the new limits. And essentially that was essentially a new project. So we had to survey the site, complete roadway and storm drainage design, streetlight layouts, design of some water line adjustments, and preparation of right-of-way and easement parcels that are necessary for the roadway. So what I'm showing now is the project location map. The project is Golden Triangle located just west of I-35, between I-35 and Bonds Ranch. Actually that's Harmon that goes north-south at Bonds Ranch. And Golden Heights ties into the new roadway as well as Harmon Road. And the limit is stated as Misty Redwood Trail. It's actually about 500 feet north of Misty Redwood Trail. That shows to give a reference of the starting point. But the starting point is actually 500 feet north of Misty Redwood Trail. And it goes to the service road of I-35. And initially, as I mentioned, there was a roundabout at Harmon Road, and the current design is a signalized intersection. So the existing conditions, the portion of concrete pavement just north of Misty Redwood Trail will remain. We will build the northbound travel lanes in this section. And this is the section at Harmon and Golden Heights. And we essentially curve around the warehouse structure there. And we rebuild the existing Golden Triangle all the way to I-35. The project includes a four-lane divided roadway, in-foot shared use path, illumination, traffic signal at Harmon Road. We will realign the intersection of Golden Heights and Harmon Road with the new roadway. Connect any adjacent driveways with the new roadway. And also install any roadway storm drainage. So this is an exhibit of the proposed roadway, which as I mentioned is four lanes divided starting just north of Misty Redwood Trail. We tie in Golden Heights into the new roadway with left turns. We tie at Harmon Road, which is signalized with a left turn northbound onto Harmon Road. And we extend all the way to I-35, essentially. And we will have medians. The medians will be grassed. And we will have sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. And also a portion of Harmon Road that we're constructing will have sidewalks as well. Currently, the project is 90% complete. We're in right-of-way and easement acquisition now. Franchise utility companies are reviewing the plans for the necessary relocations in the area. I think currently there's Tri-County, Encore, AT&T, and others that need to relocate prior to our construction. So here's a summary of the project schedule. Have November 2022 complete right-of-way and easement acquisitions. And immediately following the easement acquisitions, the franchise utilities can make their relocations. In some areas, we haven't acquired the right-of-way where the franchise utilities need to relocate. So it's vital that we have the right-of-way completed before we proceed to utility relocations. And upon finishing relocations, we advertised the project, which is estimated for April 2023 with an actual construct start estimated August, September 23. And prior to the construction start, we have another community meeting where we have the contractor at the meeting to ask, to answer any construction-specific questions. And we're estimating construction to last about a year, which will put us in September 24. If the right-of-way acquisition takes a shorter amount of time, obviously we can relocate utilities quicker and advertise quicker. And conversely, if it takes slightly longer to acquire the right-of-way, that could push the relocations back as well as the advertising for construction. And with that, that concludes the presentation. And I will have any chat. Jeff, can you let me know if we have any chat questions? There's nothing in chat at the moment. Well, Will, if anyone has anything they'd like to ask, please unmute yourself. For those that are calling users, it's star six to unmute if you were muted earlier because of some background noise. But if you're not muted, feel free. Are those guys with the American track, are they online here too? I am not sure who's in the meeting. Because that guy, last time there was questions about this, was pretty upset about the whole deal. As I understand, that was prior to my time, but I understand he was, there was some concern about the roundabout, if I'm not mistaken, about his trailer being able to, I guess, make those turns in the roundabout. Yeah. But so we no longer have the roundabouts to the standard intersection. Yeah, so it'll be a traffic light right there, huh? And Harman, yeah, Harman will T into the new Golden Triangle with a traffic signal. And how about Golden Heights? What, what's, will there be a stop sign or, or? Golden Heights will be in a stop condition and Golden Triangle will be through traffic. It will be a meeting opening and left, left turn bay going to Golden Heights to the west. So yes, there'll be a stop sign on Golden Heights, but Golden Triangle will be through traffic. Well, you know, we used to have just a stop sign on Golden Heights. And it was always kind of a hard issue to make that left hand turn. I don't know a month or two ago, so he came out and put stop signs on all three sides of that and it's been easier. Okay, we'll note that we'll. Right now there's Phillip. Am I wrong? Is that a stop condition on Golden Heights now? Because I don't think we have that signalized right now. No, there's no single and there's no signal that it's no. Yeah, I mean, in our plan and our proposal. Okay. Yeah. I second that was Kirk's idea. We really need to stop. On Golden Triangle at Golden Heights because it's impossible to get out of our neighborhood without it. Look at that. Leon, if you recall, we are doing a traffic signal warrant study. Yeah, Golden Heights right now and to see if a, an additional signal would be warranted there and if, depending on the results of that study in the city, I guess. I guess you guys, if the city will evaluate whether or not we add another signal to the project. Thank Phillip for reminding me. Yeah, it's Phillip mentioned. He's actually performing a study as he mentioned. To see what if it, you know, justifies the signal there. So yeah, we are looking at it. I'm sorry. I've. I'd forgotten about that. So we're looking at it. It's a short runway from the Golden Triangle to right there. So if there's a light, it's. It can't be a real long light, I guess, but I tell you that add those 2 stop signs on the side of Golden Triangle instead of getting and the 1 at Golden Heights really has made a positive difference. Yeah, I could fill a bitch and we are doing a warrant study. So we'll we are taking a look at it. Leon, 1 thing I'd like to say is. Golden Triangle is closed down further if past, missed you. Whatever it missed you meadows or whatever. So anything past that right now is local traffic only. And it's closed because they're doing all that work on Herman right now. What is the scheduling going to be with. This project versus the Harmon Road project. Well, this road is right now. We stay on schedule. We're far right away. Acquisition is to start fall of 2023. I am not sure of the harm and I know they are in progress. They're well ahead of us. I see role is the managers. Okay, thank you. Sorry. This is. Yeah, I'm in my portfolio. So that should be completed by March of 2023. My concern is. My concern is with the Harmon Road traffic we have now. We have a lot of cut through through our neighborhood and with Golden Triangle being, you know, just local traffic right now. And if you start this project before the Harmon Road is is done, it's going to be a nightmare to get home. So as Raul mentioned, I'm not sure everyone could hear him right now. Harmon Road is scheduled to be complete March of 23. And we are right now scheduled to start construction September of 23. So right now, there shouldn't be any overlap in those 2 projects. Thank you. I could not. Yeah, he had a little feedback, Raul, but. Oh, sorry. Yeah. I just wanted to add, you know, in follow up to the earlier comment about Golden Heights and the additional stop signs they put on Golden Triangle. It's helped tremendously. I think that 3-way stop there. Would be definitely necessary because I, I'm always scared that there's going to be an accident there. It's very dangerous when it was just 1 stop. Wait, is today is perfect. There is an accident, sir. Multiple accidents. And that is why everyone we are. We're doing a traffic warrant study to look at that now. My concern is going to be once bonds ranch opens up, we're not going to have just local traffic. We're going to have all the semis from all the logistic companies cutting through to hit 287. And that's going to be a nightmare trying to get out of the road safely at Golden Heights and Golden Triangle as well. Okay. Thank you. Do we have any other additional. Questions or comments. Seems like the primary concern with the, with the college we have is the access to go. Well, the. The condition at Golden Heights, which we are performing a traffic warrant study now. So we'll have an idea of what we're going to do after we complete that warrant study. And will there be another meeting at that time? No, we typically at 90, we'd have 1 before. We do construction, but what I could do. I'm trying to remember. Are you guys with the north for work alliance. Or is your area in that. Neighborhood alliance. I guess what I'm saying is I could send it out. I could once on that particular issue. We won't have another meeting, but I could send out what the. We can't do that force that Golden Heights intersection. Yeah, that's what we'd appreciate. Most of us are in that Tahama Ridge, Tahama Ridge. Okay. Yeah, we're Tahama Ridge. Okay. All right. Question when it comes to Golden Triangle, once the expansion is complete. Right now it is set for no trucks to go down Golden Triangle. So they all go down Golden Heights, but will it be allowed that the semis and all will be allowed to go through Golden Triangle after the expansion is complete. That has been established as a process for that. So, I can't tell you right now, we can, I could note that as a concern. But like I said, as a process to have no truck. Pass as far as access, I will tell you that becomes, even if it is marked no trucks, it becomes really a enforcement issue. But we'll, I'll add that to the list to. Yeah, it really is hard to enforce. I understand that our concern is there is a four lane road farther down with a school crossing. Yes. To an elementary school. Yes, we'll, we'll definitely look at what it takes to have a no truck route and what criteria that needs to meet that, that signage. So. That's been 1 of our biggest problems is with all these warehouses, all these 18 wheelers. And several of them keep getting stuck right now under 35 where they're trying to work on Golden Triangle under 35. Yes, probably about once a week, an 18 wheeler gets stuck there. Do you know when that part will be completed? No, that's a text dot project. So, I don't have a good timeframe on that. That work. After listening to Robert Gordon, I'm late to the meeting as I get home on traffic. But you may have covered it while before I got here, but will there be any additional traffic lights put in Golden Triangle past the Golden Heights or the down toward Harmon. Yeah, so yeah, I think you missed into the garden at Harmon Road. There be a traffic signal where it ties into the new aligned Golden Triangle. But there won't be any in the middle there. We say in the middle between Golden Heights and Harmon. Oh, no, no, no. Because now all the people there in Tom are going to have the same issues that people coming up with Golden Heights had with getting across that I went. Yeah, right now the only possible additional signals at Golden Heights. And we're doing a warrant study right now to see if it meets warrants. So we definitely have one in design at Harmon Road and we are looking at Golden Heights, but there won't be any additional. Possible signal locations other than those 2. So, I'm sorry, what, what is the cross street that may appear that may need a signal so that I can take out of it and pass it to our traffic engineer. Well, just one of those streets on on Golden Triangle after you passed Golden Heights, Mr. Redwood and then there's I don't know what the next one is that goes because of school. But as traffic comes around. The Golden Triangle and gets on to Golden Triangle. Pascal nights. It speeds up. The South. Yeah, well, yeah, South or Harmon. It speeds up and I'm sure it will speed up going the other direction as well because now they're, you know, things slowing them down. Around misty Redwood is the next major. I say major to. No, local streets tied into Golden Triangle from the neighborhoods on each side. So it's misty Redwood trail location. And there's 1 where the crosswalk is to the school. Yeah, Los boros trail is what it is. Yeah, so, yeah, Mr. Redwood trail and I'm just saying right now, just with local traffic, there's, you know, on 5 o'clock and 9 o'clock traffic goes really fast. In that area, and also a lot of is increasing when you open the blood gates. There's a lot of traffic on that road. So people won't be able to get out of the neighborhood. Well, I think Raul will pass that along. I will say there are limits as to how many signals you can put up and spacing and whatnot. But. Raul is going to pass that along to traffic or traffic management division. So clarify for me. Are you doing the traffic study at Golden Heights now? It's in progress now. So you're wasting your time doing it now because bonds ranches closed. No traffic is coming through there, which is a lot of traffic when it's open. Well, we try to keep the project on pace. I mean, we don't want to wait. Well, but you're going to have misinformation. You're going to do it when 90 or 80% of the traffic is not coming through where like it does normally. So you're going to determine that you don't need a light and that's going to mess all of us up. Well, I mean, let's see what we get. We haven't determined whether or not a signal. So I know just a certain that it doesn't have the normal flow of traffic because of the work in the other areas. So I understand what you're saying, but. Let's complete the traffic warrant study first and because we're not sure what is going to say, but we will note that. I understand that it's not getting the normal traffic it would get because of the other work. Well, you stated that there won't be another meeting after this to discuss what the findings were. So we won't be able to voice consent or dissent against what you're saying. There, there was a back in 2018. There was a. A overall study to look at the intersections. So we do have some traffic data to compare. Today's data against and. And I'll pass that the sub consultant that's doing that study. I'll pass this concern on to them and make sure that they. Compare and evaluate that with their data they previously collected at Golden Heights. About four years ago because we've had a tremendous amount of houses built in all these logistic centers. The traffic is night and day what it was 3 years ago. Correct. The traffic is worse because of the more houses and everything that's been building. Okay, everyone, we will take a look at that and we'll, we'll see because we're not sure. We'll look at the 2018 numbers with the understanding that is much more traffic. What understanding what's in the area in 2018 due to the increase in homes that have been constructed in the area. But we will take that into consideration. Okay, I just like to know what the, what you find from that before you. But before that next meeting, is there any way we can get email on the decision? Yeah, I mentioned that I would. Are you into homerage as well? Yes. Yeah, I mentioned that once we have a path forward on that. I could send something to to homerage HLA representative that we have on file. Those that are interested in updates if you want to put your email address on the chat. I'm with the Presidio Vista. Homeowners Association, so that would be good to have as well. City of village. Yes, sorry. Okay. As Raul mentioned, everyone that has an email, would you please put it in the chat as well. I would include your own as well as the ways I would include you on that same correspondence. There's mine. Yeah, I see it. Thank you. Yeah, you get into the chat. There it is. Bottom right corner. Yeah, I see them popping up several. So it seems like the. As soon as the 1st thing I need to convey to everyone is the 4th path forward after we do the 1st study at Golden Heights. That seems to be the primary concern. We go through truck signage as well. And there was also the question about additional possible signals for the South on the existing roadway, which will pass to traffic management. But as far as the Golden Heights road that intersects this project, that will be something I would definitely get back to everyone on my email and by correspondence with Rachel. Do you know who we can hear from to find out about the Golden Triangle under 35? Um, I'm not. I could try to find a text that Raul, do you know of a take type contact for that? The only person that I know is Val Lopez is there, you know, public relations person. That is the only person that I know so far. What we can do is we can just track somebody and then include it in the updates. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Because that's creating. Yeah, because that's that, you know, as far as our neighborhood right now, that's 1 of the main problems is getting in and out because of a truck being stopped over there. The other 1 obviously is, as you have mentioned is the Golden Heights road. Intersection. I think, well, so based on the conversation, I think we've addressed. Not addressed, but we've, we've noted everyone's concerns for, and I will, as I mentioned, I'll get back with everyone once we have a path forward. And if you think of any questions. After the meeting, my email, let me go back to my email. So my email is Leon dot Wilson. At Fort worth Texas.gov is on the screen. If you search Golden triangle on the C's website for projects, my contact info is also there. So if you have other. Questions or something you think of. Even now, and during construction, that's my contact info. Raul put it in the chat as well. So if we don't have any additional questions, I think we will conclude the meeting. Leah, and this is Jason. I'm more with the commercial warehouses to the north of Golden triangle. Could you just walk me through the transition, especially the truck movements. From Golden triangle headed north on the Harmon road. At the corner of that Siva warehouse. So where are you on this photo? I'm sorry on this exhibit. I'm sorry, I had to call in while I'm waiting. All right. The West end of Golden triangle where it hits Harmon road there at the, the smaller warehouses where the CrossFit gym and performance. So that Harmon road now, you know, it, well, you know, Golden triangle tease into Harmon road. Right. So, do you know, well, obviously, you know, the, the recent warehouse that's kind of an angle across from that intersection. And then with that big open space. So we have a curve that curves around that area and ties back into Golden triangle at Golden Heights. So Harmon will be realigned to curve into the larger curve on Golden triangle at a 90 degrees. So essentially that Harmon road will be extended from where it is now. And T into the new Golden triangle in occur in the curve with a interest. It will be signalized traffic light. And you have a left turn lane Bay on Golden triangle because it's four lane divided to next section to be five lanes with a left lane turning Norfolk to Herman and Harmon would be two lanes itself. So, give a map of that. It's on the screen now. Oh, you're calling. Yeah, I have one we're going to put this on the, I think Jeff is going to put it on the website for me as well. This this presentation and it's under in the in the slides is called proposed roadway. It clearly shows the new alignment, the new roadway as well as Harmon road Golden Heights. It also shows the driveway tie in from the various businesses. Okay, so I finally got on a little bit late because I was having technical difficulties getting into WebEx. Yeah, I was just looking wanting to look at the other maps that you had where actually a Harmon road goes into Golden triangle. I don't see that. You see the one that says proposed roadway. Yes, but I don't see Harmon on there. Harmon is Harmon. So what I'm caught in Golden Triangle is the main roadway, the, the wide light gray roadway. And you see Harmon road at the top of the screen and it's Harmon road. And it's a little. It's directly with a small P of proposed roadway. That's where he starts curve. You need to hold in triangle. Use the pointer there. Can you use the pointer? Can you see it now? Okay, so that's Harmon road coming from here to trace. It's coming from. No, that's coming from Keller Hicks. Hicks. Okay. Yeah, Harmon road now is a north, south, southern road, and it will curve. We'll realign it into the new roadway here. And it remains the same north of this area. The whole thing with Harmon road is weird because it leaves ends there and then picks back up at the end of Golden Heights. Yeah, actually, I mean, in our system has this small portion of Harmon and Harmon on the other side of Golden Heights. It's been slightly confusing, but we're for these for my purposes, we're calling all of this golden triangle. From 35 down to the existing. Your misty redwood just for simplification. So, where is Tehana Ridge on this particular map? So my cursor. Yeah, I see my cursor at the bottom left hand side. Yes. So, you know that existing roadway that has a. Row closed sign on this constructed. That's where we're going to tie into the new. We're going to tie our new roadway into that existing roadway. It's not used. So to home, which is. At the bottom corner here. Where my cursor is moving around. Okay, let me go to. Another map is not quite as detailed, but you see this 1. Okay, okay. So, it's a little more sense to me. Thank you. Homer Ridge is here. This is misty redwood trail. And this just generically shows the project limits. And this is Harmon. This is Harmon turns into Golden Heights. Harmon Golden triangle and Harmon again, but we're calling all that main road Golden triangle. For the purposes of this project is just easier to discuss when I say Golden triangle. I mean, from my 35 around the curve past Golden Heights tying into the existing roadway. That's bonds or Harmon there. Bonds is the other side of Harmon. So this is Harmon. Okay. And this is Golden triangle. I see. Okay. To Homer Ridge is on either side of. Of Golden triangle there. Now I understand. Thank you for doing that. Really ought to rename a lot of this. None of that makes sense. I have a question. Yes. Okay. I was making sure you could hear me. Okay. I live on Golden triangle and my house is the barricade where it goes from like 2 lanes to 1, if you're going towards 35. My house is right behind the barricade. So is that where. I'm sorry. Is that where the construction is going to start would be right there where that barricade is. Yes. Okay. So I have another one. So you are. This is the existing roadway and the construction will start in this area. Okay. Yeah, that's like right where it ends right there. That's. Yeah, right there. So it's going to be 2 lanes behind my house. Once it's done, right. Yeah, 2 new lanes, but it'd be 4 lanes total. So yeah, yeah, 2 new lanes behind your home directly behind your home. Yeah. Okay. I'm just worried about the noise because that's, you know, that's pretty close to the wall that's behind our house and it's already. I don't know if there's been like, I know you said the last I guess traffic study was in 2018 but if anyone has like looked into the noise of what it's bringing right now just. The one, you know, I guess the one lane. Well, actually it's not one, it's one lane there, but it's too bright beyond there. So it's the same condition. Yeah. So city roads do not. We don't do Norse walls. I think you may be thinking about text dot and in those larger roadways of that nature. So we don't do Norse walls anywhere in the city on city roadways on the highways. Yeah, and text dot and various highway agencies may, but it would just be a continuation of what's there now. I mean, I know you don't have that condition, but just south of you. That's the existing roadway. So, right. Yeah, I just didn't know with. I mean, it's my neighbors put their house for sale yesterday because of this so. I, we're just kind of concerned about just how much more the traffic is going to grow and how much louder it's going to get. Well, I mean, you guys know better than me that area, not the specific area, but. For now for worse, obviously. Just exploding with growth all over and I just, right, I get that. Yeah. Okay. That's the only question. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. So, I think we've addressed all the, we've taken all the concerns and all the questions. And so with that, I thank everyone again for, for logging in and taking some time to learn about the project. I will get show my contact info role. I think I saw where he put up the web page a link to the project web page on the city's website. And at some point we eventually I think Jeff is going to get this presentation put up so you can go back and look at it and ask any questions or you can share it with your neighbors. And I like to say just thank you and everyone have a good night. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you guys. You're a lot. Good night. Good night.
