able to attend. Welcome everyone to this virtual community meeting regarding the Meadow Brook area street improvements project. My name is Gustavo Vayjo and I'm the project manager for the CDF forward transportation and public works
department. Also present in this meeting are the contractor, construction inspector, representatives from where department and the design consultant to answer any questions. During this presentation, I will be giving you an overview of the project as
a whole, providing you a summary of the improvements, construction information of each street associated with this project, and discussing the expected schedule moving forward. At the end, we will be open for questions and comments. If you think of any question during the
meeting, please feel free to post them in the chat and we will answer them at the end of the presentation. This project has two funding sources. The first is the 2022 bond which the residents of forward were bought on. The
streets are defunded by the bond where we have pavement reconstruction as well as the new carbon gutter driveways and sidewalks where feasible. The second is the water department. The streets that are funded by the water department will have pavement reconstruction carbon
gutter sidewalk and the driveways be replaced in limit sections as needed. And here uh we have 2022 bond with cars street from Noble Avenue to airport freeway. Fairview street from Noble Avenue to airport freeway.

replacements on diterated 30 in stone drain pipe on in Watson Street and Middle Brook Drive. On the next slides, we'll be be going over some construction information and frequently asked it questions. Why are we doing this project? As I
mentioned earlier in the presentation, this project is funded by the 2022 bond which the residents of forward got it on which targets location in the city that needed street improvements. The TPW partnered with water department to also replace underground utilities on those
areas. How will we know construction is starting? You will get two door hangers. The first one will be one week before construction starts and it will look something like this. And the second one will be the day
before construction starts and it's going to look something like this. Will our water be turned off? There are two instances when your water will be turned off. The first when the service is transferred from the existing line to the temporary line and the second when
is transferring from the temporary line to the new line. You will be given notice before that happens. How does a temporary line impact my home and water bill? The temporary line is to make sure you don't go without water during the construction. You will be
build based on your previous usage. Do you replace the water service line up to my house? We replace the water service line from the main line in the street onto your property line. We will also replace the water meter.
Will you need access to our property? If we need access to your property, we will contact you. Will our sewer service be distrupted? No, your sewer services will won't be interrupted. Will the construction affect my irrigation?
The contractor will cap the irrigation lines before they start. They may ask you to turn on your irrigation system so they can locate and flag the sprinkler heads. Are we getting new curb g and sidewalks? As I mentioned earlier, concrete cars,
concrete curves will be replacing on the fund fun streets. If the portion of the six carbon gutter will be replaced on the water department fun street. If your driveway is to be replaced, the city will only replace the portion that is in the city right away, not all the way to
your garage. Will I be able to access my driveway? There are two instances that when you won't be able to to access your driveway. The first is when pavement is being placed directly in front of your property and the second is when your driveway is
being replaced. You will get a headups before we before this happens so you can make arrangements. What happens if my property is damaged? The contractor will take pictures and videos of the property before construction starts. We also encourage
you to do the same. If there is any damage caused by a contractor, they will be responsible for it. Will there be lane closures during constructions? There will be lane closures when the construction is stalling the water and
sewer lines and when they are paving. There will be signs posted during those times. Will the city trash truck be able to pick up my trash and recycling during constructions? If your side of the street is closed on
a trash day, the contractor will take your trash and recycling cars to the opposite side so it can be picked up. How do I report an emergency and non-emergency? If there is an emergency, please call the number listed on this slide 24 a
day. For another emergency, you may use the water call center which operates from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Number is listed on the screen. Also, if you are not already using my forward app, I would like to bring your
attention to it at least as a quick and easy way to report any issues to the city. Once you submit a concern goes to to the appropriate city work team and you can view the status of the request on the app as well.
Next, we will go over the construction phasing and schedule for this project. This slide shows the typical construction process. The utilities will be installed first along with a new service connection to each lot. Once that is completed, the temporary
pavement is put in place. So you can you are going to be able to drive over over it until the payment is is replaced for the streets that are concrete. These pictures give you an idea of what a construction will look like. First the
exist existing curbs, driveways and pavement are removed. Then the pavement and curb are installed together. And finally the driveways are installed for the asphalt streets. These pictures give you an idea of what the
construction will look like. First the existing curbon driveways are removed and replaced. Then the existing street is demoed and the new asphalt street is installed after construction is complete. This is
what you have to look forward to. Here we have pictures of the new concrete and asphalt street with new curve and gutter. And this is what a new concrete driveways, sidewalks, and pedestrian ram crossing will look like.
This slide shows the anticipated schedule for each street. the construction start on September 8th this year and from Racer Street, Rosemary Avenue and West Beach Street. The utility
improvements are seted to and scheduled to start on September 2025 to January 2026. For pavement improvements, we are looking to get done from July 2026 to October 2026. For Watson Street, we are
looking to to have the pavement improvements between December 2025 to May 2026. For Fairview Street, the pavement improvements are scheduled to start on April 2026 and finish on June 2026.
For Geekrest Drive and Adina Street, the utility improvements are starting on January 2026 to May 2026. The pavement improvements are scheduled to start on May 2026 and finish to August 2026.
for Bulart Avenue, Buff Street, Carter Avenue, Beach Street, Lancaster Avenue, and Anna Street. The utility improvements are set to start in March 2026 and ending in July
July 2026. For the pay pavement improvements, we have the schedule to start in September September 2026 and finishing in Jan January 2027. So the schedule to finish the construction is is on January 2027.
If you would like to stay updated on this project, you have a few options. You can use the first link on this slide which will take you directly to the project web page. This web page will contain updated information through the course of the project including the
project madam summary. You can also go to www.forward texas.com and enter 104315 in the search bar which does the project number. This will also direct you to the project web page. The link will be sent
in the chat. We will go ahead and open the up this meeting for questions or comments. >> Okay, everyone at this time if you would like to ask a question uh you have a couple options. You can either put your question in the chat and we will get to
them in the order you put them. Uh, alternatively, if you would prefer, you can unmute your microphone and ask the question now. And I also want to point out that I did put a link to the project web page in the chat as well. Okay, there's a question in the chat.
How was the decision made regarding the pavement type? And uh also how about sidewalks? So the decision uh regarding the the pavement type. So for uh streets that are associated with the 2022 bond, we uh we we bid those competitively uh
concrete versus asphalt. And for this project, concrete um was was the winning bit. So, we went with concrete uh for the 2022 bond street uh streets that are funded by the 2022 bond. Uh regarding sidewalk, so sidewalk is included on
2022 bond streets wherever we're able to uh to fit it. So, we tried to include as much sidewalk as we could on each street. Sometimes we're able to put it on both sides. Um, sometimes we're only able to put it on one side, but we did attempt to put sidewalk um in as many
locations as possible. Are there any other questions? If so, feel free to put your question in the chat or uh like I said, feel free to also unmute yourself and ask your question that way if you'd prefer. Okay, there's another question in the
chat uh regarding Watson Street. Will there be storm drains? Uh there won't be any additional storm drains. Um I believe there's already storm drains at uh one of the intersections um that we will be uh maintaining.
Also in Watson Street, we are replacing some deteriorated sections of 30-in storm drain uh in the metal brick intersection as well. >> Hello, Mr. Robbins. My name is Sonia. I'm a social work student. So, I was just wondering like so with this um
project, have you had any positive or negative feedback when it comes to the residents in that area that are going to be affected by the construction? >> Um we did receive feedback at our previous meeting. We had a design public meeting whenever the project was about
halfway through the design. Um I don't believe there was uh negative feedback about the project. I believe the residents are are excited about this uh this project and the new improvements that we're going to be bringing. Okay. Any any further questions or
comments? >> Hi, this is Natalie Lopez. I'm with Councilwoman Janette Martinez's office. I just wanted to thank city staff for putting on this presentation and thank you to the residents who took the time to join the call. >> Thank you, Miss Lopez.
>> Uh there I see there do see another question. Um I the question is I think many times residents are surprised at how disruptive this process is. Is there an effort to ensure this is understood? Um yes I you know with this type of
presentation in particular you know we we have information regarding the construction process in the in this presentation that I I hope will inform the residents about what the construction process is like and what they can expect. But you know the in
general construction is is dirty and noisy. Um but it there's not a whole lot we can do about it. We just we we hope that everyone can can just enjoy the the new assets that we have provided at the end of the project. Any further questions?
If there are no more questions, then we will wrap it up. Thank you everyone to attending this meeting. Here is my contact information. Please reach out to me by phone or email if you had any follow questions or comments about this project. Thank you again and have a
