Streets

The Street Capital Improvement Strategy is driven by its mission to provide a safe and reliable street
system for effective movement of people, goods and services. The CIP is developed from many
sources within the City as well as exterior sources. These sources include:
• Master Plans. Master Plans are developed to provide a strategic plan for future infrastructure

to be installed generally within a 20 plus year timeframe.
• Collaboration with other Public Entities. Ongoing collaboration with other public entities
occurs such that transportation/street plans are coordinated and facilities integrated to create
a seamless street system. Organizations include surrounding Cities, NCTCOG, TxDOT, and
Tarrant County.
• Corporate Priorities. Street System improvements are provided in support of City Council-
approved priority programs for the development of the City.
• Legislative and Regulatory Mandates. The Federal Government through the U.S. Department
of Transportation (USDOT) and the Texas Legislature through the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) regulate many standards for the design and operation of associated
street components. Compliance with these regulations is typically related to traffic control

signage, pavement markings, and various forms of traffic signals.
• Condition Assessment and Maintenance History. Staff routinely reviews the operation and
maintenance records of the various elements of the Street System infrastructure for
rehabilitation to extend the operating life of the asset and minimize maintenance costs by
applying appropriate techniques at the most effective time intervals. These types of projects
are identified through street assessment studies and the review of maintenance records to
identify the appropriate rehabilitation or reconstruction technique that should be applied.
• CIP Priority Criteria

The Street System CIP is directly linked to the goals of: mobility, public safety, improving
neighborhoods and communities, and retaining/encouraging economic growth. The specific
goals and project prioritization are aligned with citywide strategic goals as reflected in the
capital project prioritization system.

Reconstruction of failing streets, and application of various rehabilitation techniques to extend the
life cycle of the street such as mill and overlays, overlays, joint/crack sealing, concrete panel/base
failure repair, and asphalt sealing and resurfacing. Sub-categories within streets include the
following:
• Bridges: These improvements include the rehabilitation and/or reconstruction of existing
bridges where rehabilitation would not be cost effective. The City utilizes funding to partner
with TxDOT and neighboring cities in the rehabilitation of bridge structures such that Federal
Bridge monies are maximized. The Jackson Road and Pleasant Run Road bridges are scheduled
to be rehabilitated and/or reconstructed. Funding will be through grants and local match.
• Intersection Improvements: Safety and capacity improvements at existing intersections
include Glade Road at Bluebonnet, roundabouts at Glade Road and Riverwalk Drive;
McDonwell School Road and Westcoat Drive; and John McCain Road at Westcoat Drive, and
the addition of a right turn lane on L.D. Lockett Road at Precinct Line Road.
