 Question at this meeting this evening. So, I will turn it over to Martin Phillips Martin. Good evening everyone and thank you for attending our meeting. My name is Martin Phillips. I'm a senior capital projects officer here with the city of Fort Worth. Work closely with the set and also work with the arterial team. So, I'm just happy to be here this evening and I see a learn pure is also on the call. Learn. Would you please introduce yourself as well? Hi, I'm the assistant director for capital delivery and I'm just listening in standing. I don't think there's any other or is there. Jeff Allen's on the call as well. And then Ariel Duarte, this is Ariel Duarte. And I'm inspection size, so I am senior inspector. And I want to coordinate the spectrum with my inspector. Have tea. Thank you, Ariel. Jeff. Good evening everybody. My name is Jeff Allen. I'm a communication specialist with this city of course department of transportation. Good evening everyone. I'm sure that with city of Fort Worth transportation public works, I'll be the project manager on this project. And we also have our contractor for this project on attending Texas bit. Aaron, yes, my name is Aaron Perez. I'm project operations manager for Texas bit will be the main prime. Building this job for the city of Fort Worth. We are a no stranger to the city. I believe I wanted to with multiple people on this call. And we should be able to finish this project in a timely and. Safe manner and try to. To minimize any inconveniences and accordance with the phasing out of the city is in the outside. And John record has designed it, but happy to be growing our relationship with the city of Fort Worth. Thanks Aaron at this point, I am going to turn my video up to reduce bandwidth. And I'm going to turn it over to Shweta. She has a short presentation, would you please enter your questions in the chat box and we will answer the questions at the end of the presentation. Thank you, you said good evening everyone. You're also our community meeting for improvements at bombs range road at 156. Just to get in the chat box and we'll let us all of them after the presentation. I'm Shweta with city of Fort Worth. Like I said, and I'll do the project manager project. There is a brief agenda will go about the project location, the project, the proposed improvements, the schedule on construction. And we'll take the questions at the end of the presentation. We have just recently introduced our project team and the project manager will be the program manager. She is my supervisor is the design engineer on this project. Big Miller will be our senior inspector and will also be having a deal and have their inspectors on this project. Coming to the project location, the proposed improvements are at the intersection of bonds range road at 156. As you can see, it's a star you're on the map and this improvements are kind of a continuation of our improvements on west side of the. Intersection, bonds range road at just 287 and also at Charmando drive. We will be improving this intersection based for traffic project. We will be installing a new traffic signal, and then we will be widening the pavement here on the northwest corner as well as northeast corner and we'll be providing enough space for the turning movements at the intersection. We will be also providing some stormed in improvements and we will also be providing pedestrian accessibility at the intersection. We'll have the idea ramps sidewalk. And we'll make it safer for the pedestrians to cross the intersection. So we will also be doing some payment prepared rest of this intersection. It had really bad failure on it. We're doing the pavement to increase the safety for the location. Coming to the schedule, we have awarded the contractor Texas, but they'll be a contractor for the construction on this project. And we are currently we need to have a pre construction meeting with the contractor currently anticipating to change somewhere late January to early February 22. Will it be completed in 9 months? The duration of construction is 9 months and we anticipate to complete the construction by October of 2020 contact information in here. My email ID and phone number. And I also have contact information for a contractor, Ronald Stinson, and he'll be our project manager from the contractors. And, and that's his email ID and phone number. So, thank you all again for joining the meeting today. The last thing that I wanted to add to the presentation is the my footwork app. So, it provides easy access for all to see this he also kind of. Requesting improvements or submit any concerns if you have any using this app. So, this has been really helpful to many residents. So, I just wanted to share with you all about this app. So, that is all I had on my presentation. I'll have the slide open for the proposed improvements and we'll we'll be happy to answer any questions that you have. There's a question in the chat. What will happen with the barbed wire surrounding the active cattle pasture at the northwest corner of the project. I think we'll be relocating them to the right of a line at that corner. The red line here shows the city right of filaments. If the barbed wire is within the city right of that would be moved to the right of filaments. Yes, that's correct. Hi, everybody. This is Nolan, the design engineer. So the existing bar bar fence there, Scott is outside the existing city right away. So, contractor will have to ensure that the installation of the new fence occurs under the side of some echo. Installation of the new fence will have to go in before removal of the existing 1. Thank you, Nolan. There's also a question there. How many lanes. Sure, yes, so we'll have 3 lanes going northbound and 3 lanes going southbound and 2 lanes is from and was found. I think those are the only 2 questions that we had in the chat box. Now, I would like the calling users to ask any questions if they have. If you're if you're called in, you can unmute yourself to ask a question. There's some areas over there that currently have some flooding issues. Will that be addressed? I'm sorry, we didn't catch you cut off. So we didn't catch the full question. Can you repeat your question again? Certainly. There's a few areas over there where the lanes looks like they're they're being widened like say, on the right. Heading west on on bonds ranch, there tends to be some flooding there. Is that going to be addressed or grading going to be changed? So that isn't an issue. Yes, Sherry, there's some existing standing water. I know which corner you're talking about, but on all those corners, there exists existing culvert. Pipes that go under the road and the ditches there and so we'll be extending those culverts and the ends there to pick up that drainage. And yes, re grading some of the ditch. Flow lines to help control that run off. So it actually gets through the pipe. So there will be updates to the, to the storm pipe in the ditches with the widening. Great. Thank you. I see another question on the chat box. So how will this help on syringe west of. 287. So these intersection project is to alleviate at the congestion and proof safety of the for the training radices for the large trucks that are navigating the intersection. And then, like long said, help with some of this drainage here. So it's very isolated to this intersection. There's a there's a future project that is on the bond on the on the coming bond election in 2022 that will be addressing some of the issues on the from 287 to the west. So this project is very much for this intersection. We have, we have several programs at the city where we do projects so that other section of on syringes on the actual real program. This intersection is under the intersection program. So this intersection will definitely help for that traffic that is traveling, trying to make these turns. And now they don't have any, any turn lanes and also alleviate. The issue with the truck trucks trying to make these turns and flipping or getting stuck in those in the drainage ditches plus the drainage. Let me know if you have any other questions about that. I have a question about. I have a question about the widening of. Of 1, 56 from 287 to bonds ranch and headed on towards Justin, are there plans to widen 1, 56? And if so, which side of the road are they going to take to do that? The east side, the west side. Can you tell me? Well, I can tell you what I, the information that I have. So, the, the plans to 1, 1, 56 from 287 tour intermodal Parkway, I believe is the, is the northern boundary right now is in the planning stages and design stages with the text at the time of transportation. I believe that they are proposing to do a 6 lane section through there, but the project is unfunded at this point and they don't have an expected date to begin construction. I'll be more than glad to follow what we text start and see if they have any other additional information about that. It looks like there is sufficient right away to do, to do that 6 line section through there, but I don't know if the right away has been acquired all the way throughout all the way to inter intermodal Parkway. But I will be more than glad if you put your email on the, on the chat box or email it to Shweta. I'll be more than happy to follow up with my tech stop partners and see if there's any more recent update about that project. Okay. Okay, I, there was another there was another question on the chat box, several ones on bones, ranch will there be a left turn lane, I can, the middle. That's correct. That's what this project is for we did not included a lot of a space for right turn lanes. There will be kind of like a share through and right lane here for what we see the widening. So the, the capacity improvements will be for the left turn lanes to do another question as the operator of the cattle pastor who and how do I get my information to the contractors. Yes, that's a great question. If you will email your information to Shweta, we will make sure that we coordinate access to the contractor. We have a form a right of entry form that we need to get the sign in order for us to be able to access and make sure that we relocate the fence properly. So, if you will be so kind to just provide your email or phone number to Shweta, we will be able to coordinate that with you. I am going through the chat and make sure that I don't miss. I didn't miss any questions. Those are all the questions that I see in the chat box. Does anyone has any further questions? We have one more question in the chat box. Just came in. Okay, scroll the way to the bottom. Does the four length section extension go east to Harmon. No, it won't go all the way to Harmon. It would just be a bit of this interception. Yes, so the four length extension from pretty much the existing section toward Harmon road is being identified as a future project subject to funds become available. And also, I see Mr. Bellows had also a comment on the chat box. Good evening, Mr. Bellows and you can email Shweta and she will be, she will be able to help you. I have a question. Yes. The drainage there is it going to go down bonds ranch or will it go down 156. Nolan, do you want to answer that question? So it actually depends on which corner you're talking about. So the existing flow conditions. So depending on what side of the intersection you're on it may be traveling north, south or east, west. With this project on the west. On the west side. Yeah. So are you are you concerned about a particular corner. Well, I just know that some water goes down bonds ranch and then it goes through. Like Mr. Bellows. Property and then it runs. I think through the. The Jones property and then it also runs through the Lutmer property. So that's what I'm interested in finding out. Are you going to be putting more water through there. So overall the existing flow conditions on that west side. Yeah, at the corner of both of those north and the south side that those those existing ditch channels they do travel to the west. And so we'll be putting back the same condition. We are improving the ditch on the side where we're widening, which is the north side. And so there actually will be added capacity to that ditch since we're regrading it since we're having to widen push that out. And so overall the drainage patterns won't change, but the new ditch will will not add any adverse impacts downstream with the size of the ditch that we're going to regrade. What, well, I just know the where the water goes under 287 there. It's called in a flood there now. Yeah, you're talking about on the west side of 287. Yeah, on the service road. Yeah, on the west side 287 of the future bond project. The flooding concerns will be designed and evaluated there with with the bond project on the west side. And we're aware of several of those crossings and like you said, the furniture of that intersection gets under water. During rain events and those will be addressed during the design of that arterial project. No, we're not doing anything to correct that. That water flow through there. Not with this project. Okay. I have another question. I understand that the whole purpose of this project is to add the churn lanes for the trucks. So hopefully they don't tip over on top of this because they're trying to make sharp turns. But because we're not also addressing any right churn lanes, is there going to be a shoulder there because people are using the shoulders for right turn lanes right now. And so I'm just kind of curious, is that what you factored in? Will there be a shoulder for people to continue to do this? We're actually, you're gaining a right turn lane on the southbound direction of FM 156. Oh, thank God. Yes. Yeah, so you are getting a right turn lane there. And then yes, with the bonds ranch direction east, west, you know, adding those left turn lanes are going to help alleviate some of those cars that are stacking wanting to turn left to get them out of the way. So, so those rights can happen a little easier. So, so now there's not going to be a big enough shoulder for right turns only on bonds ranch east west. But adding those left turn lanes will help with the capacity and the turning movements, but you are gaining a right turn lane on the southbound FM 156. And as you can see on the exhibit, the yellow areas that making those radius is improving those radius is it's going to also help with those right turns. As well. Let's see to make sure. I have one more comment in the chat box. Will the entire road be closed at some point to complete construction? If so, what does the schedule look like? So we don't anticipate closing the whole intersection for this project. We will have partial pictures and will allow all movements at all time. And we have nine months to complete construction on this project. So, Shweta, we are, we are going to have a night closure for a few nights. It only happened at night, though, and we have to do that to do the full depth repair for that area that you see on the screen that's west of the intersection that shows the yellow going across. And so there'll be a night detour set up that'll use the hillside drive roadway. So it'll be a short detour to get around at night. But again, that'll just be a few nights. And there'll be plenty of advanced warning. Notice placed out there before the contractor is able to do that. Thank you, Nolan. Okay, I see another question on the chat box. What is the plan and result of the construction that is occurring right now on bonds range and Harmon road. I believe that Alex, it's on the line. Maybe she can speak about Harmon road briefly. Alex, are you still on the line? Yes, ma'am. I'm still here. Would you, would you talk about the harm road and as it relates to the connection with boss ranch and what that schedule looks like. So I am the project manager for Harmon road. Harmon road will be completed in March of 2023. We are currently working really diligently to try to get that round about. Halfway completed by, by at least by February and get people moving through that intersection. And so right now, as you all know, the connection to golden triangle is closed so we could build these massive retaining walls that are going to hold up that round about. So there's going to be a lot of movement going on between this project and Harmon road. And we just appreciate everyone's patience. Thank you, Alex. Thank you. I see a comment from Mr. Bellows. About property flooding already. Mr. Bellows, if you get in touch with shorter, we will get in touch with our stone water folks and try to see what's going on there. I want to make sure that I have gotten all the questions. I see another question. A round about Harmon and bonds ranch will help. Thank you. Great. Yep. We have someone that things that will be helpful. Awesome. Once the project here at bonds ranch and 156 starts, what's the anticipated turnaround time being complete? Sharad, you want to answer that question? Yes. So we anticipate nine months for construction of this project. We are currently anticipating end of October 22 to complete the project. Thank you. And if we can work with the contractor to to accelerate that that timeline, we will. We, but we also have the restrictions that we want to maintain a traffic open for you guys. So that that extends the schedule when we're trying to allow traffic through the intersection, you know, all the time. So, but if there's any opportunities for us to accelerate the schedule, we will. It's interesting. Why does like, you know, wherever I. My school, my daughter's school happens to like, you know, immediately the construction starts. This has been happening for me for the last six years and all of them are roundabouts. Sorry, like it is just a joke, but like, you know, it is at the Harmon road and. Like, sorry, heritage trace was that like just a school drop off. Now we were into oil, Texas, high school and I had to take this every day. And this just right before the last year we had the one next to it, right? It's looks like now next year, like, you know, my daughter is going to graduate looks like then the construction will finish. But like, you know, it's a good project like an overall, like, you know, just. I'm sorry that you have the unfortunate circumstance that it's that you've been having the construction taking place at every single one of. Of your schools. But, but these projects are. 2, 18 bond projects, some of them. I'm sure I think a harmon row began with the 2, 14 bond and then it received more funding with the 2, 18 bond and then they receive funds from other sources to try and to. To be able to do a complete project. So they, these projects to take time. This is, this is kind of like the last phase of the 2, 18 bonds ranch phase 2 project, what we call the phase 2, which perform improvements at the northbound intersection with 27. To which higher metal and now this piece and then there will be another phase of bonds ranch in the 2022 bond. So they do take some time to for us to get the right away and particularly this coordinated. This intersection, we have to work with tech start and work on an agreement with tech start, et cetera. So we begin the projects kind of like at the same time, and then we work on them for a while and then all of a sudden they all kind of. Start going to construction kind of close to each other. We don't intend that to be the case, but there is a great need for us to improve the infrastructure. So we're just trying to get to the projects as as fast as we can. But I apologize for you have to make no construction around every single control. Anyway, but this is going to help us definitely because once adding those lanes right now, like having only 1 lane, like there is no tunnel in on that, like in which it seems to be you're adding the town lane on to the right. Like, you know, all the corners so which is definitely going to ease up some of the traffic. Just a quick. The one south of bonds ranch on the we're talking about the east side that is you have like in at the corner you are looking at you have the tunnel in but it is not extending in any any direction right like in it is just. You have a tunnel in like in the south you're marked it as gray, but there is no tunnel in like, you know, which like after turning coming into the bonds ranch right. Or like, you know, it's basically adding that like in a north side actually. Pretty much equivalent to a tunnel in towards east. Do you want to answer that? I believe he's talking about right turn lane maybe for the right on land. Yes. Coming from the south not bound to towards east towards harm on road. Oh, for the northbound direction. Yeah, for the turning into bonds ranch right. I see a right turn. There is a yellow patch there like I'm seeing that like that is well intended, which is good because that's a condition point anyway. Is that the corner that has the existing retaining wall? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, we're pushing that back. Widening that corner. Yeah, but but there is no actual lane like no much lane like for the traffic coming from that direction, right? It has to stop for the traffic, which is coming from the. Eastbound traffic, right? Correct. Yeah, it's still single single eastbound lane on the east side of the intersection. Correct. There's no additional lane that then would have to merge. It's correct. Okay. I wish that is there because then the traffic flow like, you know, he's born traffic will be much easier because that's a lot of traffic in that part in that site, like, and especially the school drop offs. Once you drop off, like, and you have to come out from that side and like, and everybody will be coming east. That's where like, and I spend most of my day morning time, by the way. Yeah, unfortunately, though, that's not part of the project. And yeah, you would that would help alleviate a little bit, but then you'd have a merge or a conflict of a merge, you know, east of the intersection. But if you kind of tell we had right away constraints there, we had to acquire some to get that corner of the new signal in, you know, with the new signal as well. It's, you know, the, we're installing an entire new signal. So the timing and the operational be improved at this location too. Okay. So, so hopefully it will alleviate, you know, the timing and it gets you through a little quicker. So that's good. Thanks. So we have any more questions. I think we cover all the questions in the chat box. I'm checking it one more time. That's what I covered it in the presentation. I think in terms of completion time frames. I know October, I think 22. Is that correct? Correct. We were anticipating starting construction late. January, early February, and it's about a nine month time frame because we're trying to maintain traffic open. At all times. We, we, we work with the contractor or they have means and methods to try to work, you know, quicker. We will. But we realize that there's a need to maintain traffic open at this location. So we want to do that. And that's all we have. If you have any further comments or questions. Please feel free to reach to any of us, you know, show it out or myself or Martin. Or even Jeff, and we will be more than happy to find the information and get back with you. I wanted to thank everyone for taking time of your busy evening to come and have a conversation with us about this project. And we look forward to continue to improve infrastructure in this area. With that, you guys have a great night and I'll talk to you guys soon. Thank you. Thank you. We did have 1 more question come in. Where's the staging area going to be for the project? I believe Aaron will be able to answer that. It works that out with individual property owners, but Aaron, do you want to answer that? Yes, what I'll do is I'll coordinate with a sweatshirt and the city inspector and we'll definitely stage within the city right away. We won't disturb anyone's property and we'll stay out of traffic where it's no danger to existing traffic that goes on every day. I do want to reiterate, like I said, this project is in multiple phases. So there will be sometimes a little bit of traffic changes. But we'll try to make it as easy as possible for everyone. And I know sometimes it can get a little confusing, but we'll have the proper signage and layout so everyone can go east, west, north, south and get to their destination. Thanks Aaron. Yes, like Aaron said, we'll have a lot of advanced warning signs and we'll provide all the communication quite in advance before changing any of the traffic patterns at the intersection. And that's the only comment that we had. So, thank you all again for joining the meeting this evening. And I just wanted to add 1 more point at the end that. This presentation was recorded and we'll have it posted on the project website. So, if anyone has missed the presentation or if anyone wants to. I mean, go through it again. They could visit the project website for the presentation. With that, thank you all again for joining the meeting tonight. Have a good evening everyone.
