Tarrant County 2021 Transportation Bond Program - In early 2021, Tarrant County initiated
efforts to pursue a Transportation Bond Program (TBP) for voter consideration on November 2,
2021. As part of this effort, the County requested project submittals (with a 50/50 matching fund
requirement) from municipalities across the county for consideration in the Call for Projects
funding category of the proposed 2021 TBP. Following voter approval on November 2, 2021, the
County notified City staff that two of the City’s proposed projects had been selected, including
Westpark Drive, between R.M. 2871 and Lakeway Drive, and Timbercreek Road, from the bridge
nearest Winscott Road to just east of South Park Drive. A project construction schedule has yet
to be determined by the County.
Winscott Road Downtown Lane Reconfiguration - As part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan
approved by the City Council in February 2020, staff proposes to reconfigure a segment of
Winscott Road, beginning north of Timbercreek Road to near I-20, from a four-lane road section
to a two-lane road section with on-street parking. A project construction schedule has not been
set and will only begin following approval of a “downtown style” development of property
abutting this segment of roadway.

Vista Way Connection to Benbrook Boulevard and I-20 Service Road Two-Way Conversion
Project - The CIP includes a new roadway, utility installation and intersection signalization that
connect Vista Way to Benbrook Boulevard and further provides for the two-way conversion of a
portion of the I-20 Service Road. The project is funded through the Tax Increment Finance District
and Economic Development Corporation funds.

Bellaire Drive Sidewalk Installation - Sidewalk installation is proposed along the north side of
Bellaire Drive between Crosslands Road and Watercourse Drive in 2022. Funding of the project
is expected to come from the 47th Year Community Development Block Grant program
administered by Tarrant County.

49 & 51 Year CDBG Projects - HUD notified the City in 2019 that additional areas in the City

once the project areas have been finalized by HUD. Funding of the projects is expected to come

th
from the 49 and 51 Year Community Development Block Grant program administered by
Tarrant County.

Annual Street Overlay Program - The CIP includes an annual expenditure of $1,000,000 to fund
the street overlay program. Tarrant County furnishes all equipment and labor necessary to
overlay the street segments provided the City pays the cost of all necessary materials and traffic
control. Portions of the program not completed by Tarrant County will be contracted out
separately through existing Interlocal Agreements with other government entities.
