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 Pleasant Run Bridge is complete and the Jackson Road Bridge is 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.
• Pavement Markings: Rehabilitation of existing pavement markings throughout the street system
encompassing: lane lines, railroad crossings, crosswalks, and school zones.
