 As Jeff has started the recording process, my name is Justin Naylor. I'm the project manager for the South Cravens Road potential covert improvements today is May 8th. And when we're holding a community meeting to discuss these potential improvements. Moving forward, if this project moves forward, we have Mike Bennett, who will be the project manager of the design through design and construction. Our consultant engineer, Frisian Nichols is on the line. They've been helping us to develop the schematic so far and we also have Rich D odd who'd be the engineer of record taking the project or design and construction at the bottom of this page as a as a link in attendance today. We have Councilwoman Bivens Councilwoman Bivens. Would you like to say anything to to kind of kick this meeting off hearing nothing? I think we'll go and go and get moving and that. Councilwoman Bivens, feel free to chime in any time you like. So, as I mentioned, the potential project does have a webpage right now. And this is a snapshot of what it looks like if you, if you can easily find this website website by going to the city of Fort Worth main website, which is Fort Worth Texas dot gov. And you can type a search in for Cravens Road and this, this website should pull up. It just kind of gives you a quick overview. If, as this project moves forward, there will be additional information posted here or be project meetings hosted. And this is where this recording the recording. This video will live. To give a little overview of how this project has come to be this, come this project is being looked at through the transportation and public works department, specifically with the stormwater management division as a sponsor. Now, this is looked at through our hazardous roadway over topping mitigation program or H from H from program. The goal of the H from program is to look at hazardous crossings or creeks cross roadways and. We're creeds across roadways and we have a stormwater that may over top the roadway and threaten life safety. Now, currently this project is within what we're calling project development and the purpose of project development is to define effective, affordable and acceptable solutions. So within that process, we seek to understand the source of flooding. We want to coordinate with city plans like a master third plan, which will give us guidance on how, why the road will be in the future. If there's any trails or parks master plans in the area and we want to understand existing utilities. You know, is there a sanitary sewer line that's that's going to be an issue. Is there an 18 inch gas main per se that might Is there an 18 inch gas main that might block the improvement of the crossing all together. We seek to find out what our required permits are as a local government. We do have to coordinate with the US Army Corps of engineers on that's our most frequent partner on the And then we also want to understand other kind of site constraints such as environmental factors and how, how are the residents going to perceive this. How, how is this going to to fit within the overall neighborhood. And so that that's where this project is currently within project development. I saw a note come up that audio is coming in and out is that a universal issues that. Justin, can you can you hear me? Okay. Now I can. Yes, I am. Okay, this is I think we lost you now. If there's any other staff that can, Justin, are you recording this call? Yes, ma'am. Okay. I think I think I lost you again. Councilwoman Bivens. You would. We'll know if we need to redo this call for the benefit of the community. I'm sorry, I caught just a little bit about redoing the call for the benefit of the community. Your audio is coming through pretty good, Justin. So we'll just record it and go ahead with the presentation. And then if then we can check the replay to make sure. Okay, I think we'll press on and when Councilwoman Bivens, if it's okay with you, if you wanted to reply in the chat, if it's okay with you, we'll press on today. And then we'll we'll check the we'll check the recording and see, make sure that it comes through clearly. And then if we don't have a clear reporting, then we can redo this one. Can you ask your co-workers if they're hearing you consistently? Yes, I've seen in the chat that it's coming through consistently for them. So we'll press on and like I said, we'll double check the recording afterwards to make sure that it that it comes in clearly. So, if we post it, it'll be audible for everybody and if not, then we'll we'll reschedule this again for in the future. So, again, we're looking at South Craven's here, which is kind of the crossing in particular is between Baylor Street and Oakdale. But the reason this project is being looked at is to address roadway over topping hazards from the channel as it crosses South Craven's as many of you are aware, I'm sure back in 2018, a vehicle was swept off the off the road and and and when that happened, the driver lost their life. So this has risen to kind of the top of of our priorities and and immediately shortly thereafter after that event, as the city was able to go out and install some additional safety features. There's some delineators that were installed as well as additional signage indicating that this roadway may flood when it rains, but those delineators help serve to indicate where the edges of the roadway are. And then there's also a flood, a staff gauge indicating how deep the water may be. So, so those are some temporary measures until we can do a full project to address this, this crossing. And so here's another view of the project limits we're looking at between Baylor Street to the north and Oakdale Drive to the south. The blue, the blue shading there represents the 100 year flood plain, which is essentially how wide we think the flooding is going to get during what's called the 100 year storm or the 1% chance storm. A little misnomer is, you know, the 100 year may lead you to think that that might happen only once every 100 years, but really it's a percentage chance that the there's in any given year, there's a 1% chance that that amount of flooding will happen or will be exceeded in any given year. And so this is kind of what we're looking at it given the. The records that we have of water overtopping the roadway and some modeling indicating this as shown in this flood plain image here as it does rise to the to a hazardous location. So, what we're going to be doing in the next few slides, there'll be in several images of the same that are laid out the same way where north is to the right so that would make a west to the top of the screen and east to the south to the bottom of the screen. We're just going to kind of phase go through what the construction phase and might look like on this type of project and just kind of that way we can kind of build the improvements together as we look at this. You can see in blue there what the existing stream looks like. And it's flowing from the west to the east or from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. One of the first things that we would be doing if this were to be this if this project were to continue through is we would be potentially installing some sanitary sewer improvements. We would also be installing the box culverts that would be replacing the small box culverts today. And then as well as we would also be installing a storm drain system within South Craven's roadway. After that then we would be installing inlet and outlet protection, which is going to help prevent erosion and stabilize that channel. And we'd also be installing a maintenance ramp on the west side or on the upstream side of the culvert. And then we'd be coming back and repaving Craven's with a concrete street with curb and gutter. We'd be reconstructing the driveways that are affected and we'd be reconnecting with asphalt tie ins to the existing Craven's road on the north and on the south. And then Baylor street on the Baylor and Oakdale on the west side. And currently we're anticipating sidewalks with this project, though it's possible that the sidewalks may be delayed to be installed at a future date. But this, even if the sidewalks aren't installed with this type of project or with this project, the spaces of it would be available. So it wouldn't be a significant effort to install them again and install them at a later date. So to kind of recap some of the project details and the benefits that we're looking at is reducing the South Craven's roadway over topping likelihood. I would love to be able to say that we could 100% prevent it ever happening again. But we have we have design standards that we meet and we design generally to what's called the 100 year storm. As I discussed earlier, and there's always the opportunity that more rain would fall than the 100 year. But we do have high confidence that we are making a significant improvement to the crossing and to the safety of the crossing. There's going to be an improved pavement both by having a wider roadway section, which is going to make it a little more comfortable for vehicles driving in the area. And then concrete paving, which is going to have a little bit longer lifespan than an asphalt street. And then also the potential for sidewalks on both sides of the roadway, which is going to help provide some connectivity in the future. To kind of go over some anticipated project milestones. Again, since we're in the project development phase, these are subject to change as we gather more information and have a better understanding of what all of our constraints are. We anticipate at this point to be able to complete design in the fall of 2022 with bidding and awarding of the construction contract in winter of 2022 or 2023. With construction to start then in spring of 2023. And lasting approximately 18 months. So completing in fall of 2024. Our current estimate is about 6.5 million. And it's currently funded out of our 2020 storm water revenue bond funds. And so with that, that concludes my presentation. I'd be happy to take any questions. I think we will start with what's in what may be in the chat box. Michael, can you read off any questions that we have in the chat box? Yes, Justin, thank you for the presentation. One question came up about will there be future community meetings and as this potential project progresses. Yeah, so if this project does progress through through design, then there will be additional meetings at what we call the 60% set of plans at the 90% set of plans. And then a pre construction meeting, which is when we're going to have a contractor on board and they're going to have a lot, a lot more than the degree details on as to. What the exact timing is going to look like. So there will be additional meetings. The notifications will come out in similar ways as the way these notifications came out in mailers as well as in with robo calls. Thank you. See, another question. Do you anticipate the road being closed or open during construction? At this point, it's a little too early to say, though, I think, given the size of the culverts, there's probably a high likelihood that the roadway will have to be closed while those culverts are being built. But again, we're a little bit early to say definitively. And then that's going to be a better question as we get into the 90% and get into the pre construction meeting. We'll certainly have that kind of detail at that point. All right. Thank you. Looks like 1, 1 last question on the board is that will people have access to their driveways? I know you mentioned a few driveways that would be reconstructed. Right. So we'll certainly be working with residents to to to minimize any access disruption. Obviously, there's going to be times when a front loader might be driving past the driveway making sure you can't get out right then, but that's not really significantly different than regular traffic. But when we are reconstructing those driveways, the schedules will be coordinated with you with the property owners. And when we can certainly come up with maybe we can maybe use high early concrete, which might get the resident back in their driveways a little bit quicker. But those are some things that we can work on as we advance the design a little bit further if that's what happens. All right. Thank you. So that was, I think, most of the questions in the chat. If anyone would like to enter in any questions in the chat, feel free to click that button in the lower right hand screen of the WebEx browser. And at this time, if there's any of our call in users that have a question so we can just mute yourself or excuse me, unmute you. And if there's any questions from any of our calling users would like to ask, not seeing any. And of course, as Justin's got up on the screen, his number, email address, the project website is on the screen as well. And similar notices will be given for future public meetings. We'll check on the audio, Justin, after the meeting and make sure the recording came through clear. It could be just me because I'm in a bad area, even with the hotspot. But how do we. We can hear you now so. Okay, okay. So, I'm just going to look forward to accessing the recording. Are you able to put in chat how we can see the recording or should we just go to the project website. We can certainly put it in the chat, but it will be posted on the project website. Okay, I see it. Thank you. Justin, this is Jeff, the, the recording will also be on our city YouTube channel. I won't have that link until WebEx processes the recording and provides me. The actual recording, but the easiest way is definitely go to the project website and it'll be posted there. Pretty quickly probably on Monday. Once we have the recording. Very good. Thank you. So we've got the project website and your contact information. I don't see any other questions coming in again. There will be additional communications from the city to everyone on this as future meetings are planned. And Justin, Jeff, Councilman Bivens anything additional. I'm going to read out Justin's email or phone number for those that are on the call since they can't see the screen. It's 817-392-7953. And if you have any questions, please feel free to call Justin at any time. And I just say thank you for spending your Saturday morning with us. Have a good rest of the day. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Well, if there are no additional questions, then I think that can conclude our presentation and everything go about their Saturdays then.
