Abby and I I think >> All right, it is 6:00. Good afternoon everyone or evening. It's kind of a in between time right now. Um We're here to discuss the McCart McPherson Roadway Construction project. Thank you all for joining.
Um I'm Abby Tucker. I'm the city of Fort Worth project manager and um as you can see I've got the some of our team listed on the screen as well. Um so let's go ahead and get started. I'll go to the next slide. Um just wanted to give a special shout out to Council District 6 and all the
work they do for the city. Um I'm not sure if Council member Hall or any of their staff are here, but if so, um feel free to introduce yourselves. Say hi to everyone. I'll take that as no, but if anyone jumps on and we can let them talk whenever. So All
right. So for the agenda for this evening, um we're going to go over the current conditions of the um roadway or lack thereof um at the project site. We're going to go through the project objective, the improvements, cost, schedule, and then last the
funding. So currently what's out there today? Um there's a two-lane roadway on McCart from Valley Bend Drive to Cayman Drive. And then I'm sorry. I don't know that that's right.
Yeah, I think that's right. Um and then sorry. And then there's a two-lane roadway on McPherson and that's from West Cleburne to east of McClain Farm Drive. Um the rest of this project will be new construction. Um it's pretty much undeveloped land there. Um
yeah, so we'll get into um what it looks like today. As you can see, um we've got McCart um towards the north side and then Rising Road and McPherson and we'll be expanding McCart and McPherson. So, the main project objectives for this
project are to increase safety and improve connectivity by adding this corridor um for the city. And then here is an overview of the proposed improvements for this project. Um as you can see, we've got um expanding McCart from Rising Road all
the way down to Twin Leaf on the south and expanding McCart McPherson or sorry, McPherson Drive. McPherson, whatever, to um from West Cleburne to McCart. Um and then here a couple snapshots from
the plans of the typical sections for this project. Um mostly McCart will be from the north side of the project down to McPherson will be a two-lane divided roadway with median um
cutouts for left turns. And then from McPherson all the way down to Twin Leaf, it will be a two-lane roadway with um continuous two-way left turn lanes. And then on McPherson, um it'll be a divided roadway just like McCart um on
the north side of the project. Um two lanes on each side with a left turn lane um going on to uh Cleburne. So, here is a bit of a zoomed-in version for the proposed improvements um on
McCart, and this is the segment from Risinger all the way to North Crowley-Cleburne. As you can see, we're going to be doing, like I said, a four-lane divided highway or roadway with median cutouts, and those will be at Aruba Lane and Cayman Drive.
And then, on the south side of this image, obviously, we're going to have a roundabout connecting McCart to North Crowley-Cleburne Road. And then, here's a zoomed in version just to those median cutouts. Like I said, they're going to be for Cayman Drive and Aruba
Lane. And then, here's a zoom in of the roundabout at North Crowley-Cleburne. As for the proposed improvements for the rest of the project, we're going to get into some of the other segments. As an overview of this part, we have
another roundabout being proposed and three bridges over bodies of water. Yeah, so this first section is North Crowley-Cleburne Walnut McCart from North Crowley-Cleburne to McPherson Boulevard. Um
As you can see, like I said for the previous segment, this is going to be a four-lane divided, and it'll go in directly to the roundabout. The next segment we'll talk about is McPherson Boulevard from um Crowley-Cleburne, I think, to McCart. Um
and it'll be a four-lane divided as well. You can see the bridge highlighted in orange right there on the screen, and that'll be going over um a body of water. And then, going to the south limits of the project from McPherson all the way
to Twin Leaf, it'll be mostly a a two-way two-lane roadway with uh um two two-way left turn lanes. And then, um obviously, on the north side is that
same roundabout that we saw in the previous slide from McPherson. All right. Um getting into the product cost and schedule. Um we're going to be constructing this project for $35.4 million. Um the total project budget um for the city for this project is $48.8 million.
And then as for the project schedule um construction's going to be starting next month in July of 2026 and will complete substantially um in July of 2028 giving this contract a 2-year time span. Um as far as project funding sources
goes um most of this project is funded by the bond program and transportation impact fees and there are some various other um funding sources as well. And then just a little plug for our My Fort Worth app. Um you can download this to your devices
from the App Store and Google Play. Um you can report issues um request service um you know, anything like that that you want to get in contact with someone from the city you can uh use that app. It's very helpful and um it'll get in get your concerns in contact with the
correct people. And then this is my last slide and we'll take questions right after. This is my contact information um the contact information for the construction project manager with Sinacola and then the City of Fort Worth inspector. Um and now um if you'd like to place any
comments in the chat um we'd be happy to answer your questions or get back to you if we can't answer them immediately. >> [snorts] >> Hey there. Good afternoon. Can you hear me okay? >> Yes. >> Hi. This is Maryann Joseph. Um we are residents of the Terraces
community which is in the the section between West Cleburne Road and what would be the roundabout extension to McCart? Is that going to be um like a is that going to start here in the next month or is there going to be
phasing for these this entire project? >> Um yeah, there will be phasing. I'm I'll let um Mario Sinacola folks talk more about that. I'm not really sure what will start when. Um and I'm not sure what details we can
give at this moment, but but yeah, it'll be mobilized. The the entire contract will be mobilized in July. I don't know if anyone wants us >> Yeah, the the folks from Mario Sinacola can be unmute themselves and maybe speak as to generally what the
first phase of the project is going to be from where to where and maybe second phase, maybe third phase. >> Um not at this time, but we're developing the schedule. Um I guess to answer the lady's question,
there will be uh some phased intersection work at Cleburne and Cleburne and McCart, um McPherson, Tarrant, and around the police building. >> Cool. And um >> [clears throat]
>> following up on that same question, and this is uh Joseph speaking with Maria. Um do y'all know if there's any sort of I guess in terms of that phasing, if y'all are planning on doing any sort of closure in terms of that open section of McPherson?
>> Um I believe um we have to develop our traffic control plans submitted to the city for approval. So, we'll be working on that. Um and like I said before, right now it
should be a phased Tarrant um to allow traffic through. >> So, what we can do is ask questions that are we're unable to answer at this point, we'll we'll take note of them and we will post uh the answers on the project
webpage. And we can I can find the project webpage here real quick and put the the link in the chat so you guys know where that webpage is and we'll do updates of that webpage every month. So, you can have uh
more up-to-date information. >> That that would be great. And really the these questions stem from um there's two entrances to our community. One is on West Cleburne Road and one is on McPherson right now. Um, but I'm I'm anticipating that that McPherson entrance is probably going to
be blocked for some time. So, just trying to understand what our options are going to be when that happens because West Cleburne Road does get backed up quite a bit. Um, especially during school season. So, just that that's where those questions were coming from.
>> Understood. Thanks so much. >> Yeah, so hello. My name is Jerry. I got a question on the extension part going from McPherson down to Twin Leaf. Was there a consideration to make that four lane vice two lane because of the massive amount of
uh influx of homes being built out there? It seems like a two lane is just not enough. >> Right. So, the massive thoroughfare plan takes into account um anticipated volumes for the ultimate build out of that section
and it didn't warrant four lanes. So, it's going to be a two lane section with a two-way left turn lane. >> Is there any anticipation how long after the completion of this that they'll turn into a four lane? >> At at this time it's not anticipated to
be a four a four lane um at all. The map we have a what we call a master thoroughfare plan which maps all the city streets that are in the ground now and that are needed in the future
uh based on anticipated traffic volumes from the various areas once they fully developed. Takes into account uh land use. So, if you have a green uh green field or pasture that's going to be say a single family subdivision
that is taken into account the density of the homes that are going to be built there. If it's 1,000 homes, what have you? And that is taken into account to predict what the uh number of lanes are going to be needed on every road. So, based on the master thoroughfare plan only two lanes are needed.
>> Okay. >> I believe that's sort of towards the the limits of Fort Worth and um the road doesn't extend much further south other than those one or two subdivisions that are that are there.
>> Okay, thank you. >> Sure, you're welcome. >> Abby, there are a couple of questions in the chat, so I didn't know if you wanted me to just go ahead and read those to you cuz I know you were saying that you can't see them while you're sharing your screen. >> Yeah, I I forgot I forgot they were
there, but yeah, I see them now. Um okay, yeah, we can go down the list. Thank you. Um the first question is asking about a section of road near Crowley High School that is called McCart. Will this extension and to that roadway? Um
I believe you're asking about I'm not sure what the question means. If anyone else wants to jump in. >> Yeah, I can get um the Crowley High School that is part Yeah, I'm not familiar with
Crowley High School. Are >> Yeah. >> The McCart where you get to you're going to Twin Leaf. >> Um that is called McCart. I believe that's what he's referring to is where McCart will connect down at Twin Leaf. And it goes from there down to the about the city limits of Crowley. And there
then it's called Eagle and it gets down to Crowley High School. But I assume that he's asking about that. >> Um it does not connect to that. >> It that stops at Twin Leaf currently. >> Yeah, the project will stop at Twin Leaf. And further much further south, I'm not
sure if that's still within the city of city of Fort Worth limits or whether that's Crowley. >> It goes a little bit further in the the portion that's still in Fort Worth city is is called McCart. And as soon as it turns into Crowley, the road is then called Eagle. But I I'm so I looks like
you're connecting to the existing McCart. >> Mhm. >> That's correct. >> the limit. Yes. >> Okay, that He's talking about the stretch further south. Well further south than our project limits are. >> Oh.
>> I I think I see the high school. The high school is sort of uh north of Mira Verde Drive. >> Yes. >> Yes, that is I'm sorry, that's the elementary school. Where's the high school? >> The high school is near Eagle Drive.
And it's about maybe six or eight blocks south of where you're connecting it Twin Leaf and McCart. So, yes, it does connect to that same McCart. >> Is this On the north end. Does that make sense? North of
of the high school. >> I'm trying to find Eagle Drive Patricia, but um my roads are all >> McCart changes its name to Eagle Drive right next to Crowley High School when
it goes into the town of Crowley. >> Yeah, like I can't see it in the map, but I assume there was a big field of football fields, so that must be the high school. Uh yeah, so that's that's not planned to be improved at this time. >> No, but it will connect to it, which is
what the question said is. >> But it it is connected today. It is actually connected today. There is a road there, but yeah, it won't be I think that goes beyond the city limits because I'm not showing
uh the master thoroughfare plan extending into that section. I wish I had my See if I can look up the city limits. >> Okay. Um we can keep >> John, do you feel like you've answered your question, or are you
Do you have further questions? You can either ask or write in the chat. >> I'm in. Oops. So that I can multitask and use both all of my um monitors, I need to close my laptop so that I can have three monitors
and I can look around better. I apologize. >> No problem. >> 6 >> Okay, it looks like um we were able to help John's question. >> Okay. >> Great. Thank you. Um the next question is from Greg
asking about the roundabout at North Crowley-Cleburne and how long that phase will take. Um we like they said, we don't have a specific schedule yet, but it it's not going to take 2 years to just do the roundabout, so it'll be phase
construction um like they said earlier. Um but if you have any specific questions as the project goes on, you know, you um I have my contact information listed and you can reach out. >> Work. So, I just have the answer to um the
question. That is that segment um right across the street from the high school is in fact within Crowley, it's not within Fort Worth, so we wouldn't be able to extend the road there. That's why the master thoroughfare plan doesn't go that far south. >> That's my way to work, Chisholm Trail
Road. >> Oh. >> I'm sorry, what what was that? That's my way to work, Chisholm Trail Road. >> You're coming from the east going west to Chisholm, is that what you're saying? >> Yes, ma'am. >> Okay.
>> Yeah. Just Yeah, the the cell limit is um just a little further south from where the project ends. I just uh pasted the link to the project webpage in uh on the chat. So, if you guys if you
all want to copy it or link on it and, you know, keep it on on on your desktops uh as a, um as a shortcut. That, that's project webpage and we'll, we update that webpage every month and we can post, uh, some of the answers to these questions,
uh, here within the next, uh, few weeks. And we'll post updates on the project, maybe facing, uh, those kinds of information. And obviously, Abby's name is on that project webpage, as is on the slide. So, if you want to take a shot of this slide,
so you have her name and contact information, as well as the inspector. So, any questions that you have, I would, I would ask you to please address them to Abby and or the inspector, um, and we'll forward any questions to the contractor.
>> Yes. >> Get you some answers. >> And it looks like the next question that I see in the chat is, will there be traffic lights anywhere on this proposal? Um, the answer is no. Um, >> [clears throat] >> there is, I think there's a traffic light currently on McPherson, correct me
if I'm wrong. Um, but we're not adding any. So, there will only be roundabouts added, um, with this project. >> No traffic light on McPherson. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. All right. Um, I don't know if anyone
else has any questions. >> I have a question. I, I might have been late, but, uh, can you publish that, uh, link to the, to the project page where we can get updates from time to time? >> Uh, yes, it's, um, I don't know if you can look in the chat right now.
Um, but it's >> chat. I'll copy it again. >> Mhm. >> It's the very last one. I just recopied it on the chat. >> Thank you. >> Yes, and the, uh, webinar recording will be I think it's posted to our website as well. Um
>> That's correct. >> That'll also be posted. That was a question in the chat. >> The presentation and even a link to the meeting recording. >> Yes. And then is there a map of the proposed roundabouts? We do have plan sheets
which is being constructed, but I don't know what we can and cannot share. That might be a question for Raul. >> Um Yeah, we can't we can't share the construction plans with you all, but we can we can
certainly put a a rendering of what the roundabout is going to look like and maybe you know the approaches from all four sides. >> Yeah, and like Raul said, we'll be updating the project webpage throughout the duration of this project and
feel free to check in on it from time to time and if you don't you know, see what you want on there, just reach out and we'll be happy to answer any questions that we can. >> Yes, John. Yeah, this the project does connect Twin Leaf. That's that's one of
the goals of the project is to connect uh uh Crowley Cleburne all the way to Twin Leaf which is sort of a dead end on the south end. So, Twin Leaf will be able to turn left and go north go all the way to uh Crowley Cleburne or Rising Road or
anywhere north of there. >> All right. I don't know if we have any more questions or if we didn't answer one in the chat that I skipped over, just let me know and we can answer anything.
Will there be coordination with police on the site meant by the police station. That's the question we just got. >> Uh yeah, the police station is at the very intersection, right at the intersection with uh Risinger. Mhm. Um we don't
anticipate that being a in in the way of the project. The project starts a little further south of the police station. But cer- certainly we will coordinate with them if we're impacting the >> Yes. >> the Yeah, the police station.
>> Mhm. All right. Uh the new the next question is about the old Cleburne Crowley Junction Road. Um we um that's not part of this project, but um um feel free to reach out to the city
and we can get you in contact with the project manager for for that project. I I believe I just looked it up recently and there is a project at that location. Um and you might even be able to find it on that same webpage that Raul shared our
project with if you um use the search function. >> I think Vincent Road. >> Flyer in the mail shows a generic map of the project, folks. Yeah, the the flyer was just a generic map um of the limits of the project.
And then, St. Vincent Road, is it going to have direct access to McCart? I don't know if someone can pull that up on Google Maps. I don't currently have it open. >> Screen back and pull that up. >> Okay. St. Louis
>> St. Vincent Road St. Vincent Road sounds like uh Rainbow Ridge, doesn't it? Yeah. >> Correct. >> So, Abby, can you go to
north of the first roundabout, the north roundabout? >> Yeah. >> I think it does connect. >> Is the next road just south of Cayman Drive? >> of Cayman Drive. >> Oh. Cayman Drive >> It's
Yeah, it's it's got to connect. It may not be shown here. And if it's not in the plans, we will connect it cuz that's that's the goal of There's no reason why we wouldn't connect it on the northbound lanes. So, we'll we'll take a look at that, but
it's it certainly will connect. >> Sweet. >> [clears throat] >> Yeah, all that subdivision, Rainbow Ridge, is all um Caribbean Islands. That's why I knew that St. Vincent sounded like that area. St. Vincent and drive, St. Vincent, St.
Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Barts. >> All the saints. >> All the saints, correct. >> I'll go back to my contact information. >> Go USA, yes. >> [laughter] >> I think if we don't have any more questions, we can adjourn. We appreciate everybody showing up.
And again, yeah, check out the webpage. We'll be updating that once a month with useful information. >> one question just pop up. >> Yes. Yes, I see >> When will the project begin? >> The yeah, like Greg said in the chat,
July of 2026, next month. >> Greg, we're going to make an honorary part of the team, the project team. You're doing really good. >> It's time for fun. >> All right, looks like we're good. Thank all for joining. We really appreciate y'all's time taken you know,
an evening out to discuss this project. So, we really appreciate it. >> Thank you all very much. Have a good evening. >> Thank you. >> Mansa and Abby, can I get your attention 1 second while when everybody's gone? >> Yeah, sure. >> Yes, yeah. No problem. >> Yeah.
>> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Have a good evening. Just a little a little nugget. I know the names of those I'm familiar with the names of those streets cuz I was the project manager. That's how long I've been with the city when that subdivision got built. On the very first phase of that subdivision got built, I was the
project manager. So, I remember uh the names of the streets. They they They ring familiar. >> Mhm. You got a good memory, I swear. >> Even after 23 years. >> [laughter] >> Mansa and Assistant inside, I I sent you a request for more CAD files. Don't know
if you've seen it. >> Yes, and I'm gathering that information. You should have the link to be able to access and download that information here within the next 30 minutes or so. >> Mhm. >> Is that how we transmitted them last time with the link? >> Yes.
>> able to upload to the e-Builder last time, so I just sent y'all a link to be able to access and download. >> Okay. >> If you'll just copy the files that I copied, that way they have the link and they can download it themselves. >> Yes, sir. >> Yeah.
>> Did you want me to set up a quick Teams call, Raul? >> Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Let's set up a quick Teams call. It's just going to go over a few things that I want to make sure that we're all on the same page. Okay. Let's go ahead and Yeah, let's go ahead and quick up You
know what? I should be able We should be able to call Mansour on Teams even when he's not part of the city. I've done that with external Oh, yeah. That's true. Yes, you should. Yeah, there you are. So,
you'll answer Let's see. Chat. Now Yeah, let me see. All right. Let me know if you if it's ringing on your end. >> Yep, it's ringing. >> Okay, so we can hop off the WebEx and then Abby, I'll call you. >> Sounds good. Thank you, all. >> Thank you very much.
>> Thank you.
