Horizon Issues

New airport businesses and infrastructure are also enhanced by continuous focus in generating Federal and State
funding, which is needed to maximize capital investment at all three airports. The City of Fort Worth is well
positioned for available funding provided that the State of Texas is prioritized by the FAA for receiving assistance.
Historically, Texas has not received an adequate share of funding based on capital improvements needs and the
number of Texas airports within the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems. However, with optimal focus on
communication and partnerships with all interested stakeholders, the Aviation Department continually seeks to
promote a safe, efficient and economical transportation system that aligns to meet the demands of the aviation
industry as well as the City of Fort Worth community.

Municipal Parking
Near Southside & Magnolia District
· Work is currently underway through the Near Southside organization and through other stakeholders in
the Magnolia area for a parking and traffic study. It provides significant short- to medium-term
implications for commercial loading, metered parking, and residential permit parking programs in that
area.

Expansion of the Residential Parking Program
· Multiple neighborhoods around TCU/University District are interested in the path forward to obtain RPP
designation.

Technology Implementation to Drive Process Improvements and Innovation and to Reduce Process Time
· Automated Reservation System & Guidance System – Provide technology to guide drivers to available
parking locations and to allow them to reserve spaces in city parking lots and garages.
· Automate Taylor Street Garage – Install parking gates in the Taylor Street garage to control access and
improve security within the garage.
· Improve parking control equipment and systems across the WRMC parking assets to integrate the WRMC
campus with the Dickies arena.

Greater West 7 Urban Village Area
th
· Continue to monitor and assess demand for on-street metered parking areas as the area continues to
develop with expanding residential and commercial development.

Solid Waste
The Solid Waste Fund, supported by our outside consultant, developed a sustainable revenue rate model to
determine a viable and supportable funding platform for all solid waste services and programs for the next ten
years through balancing the funding between the residential and commercial program utilization and waste
streams. This model integrates identified increased operational costs, future capital investments and
recommended Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan (CSWMP) Action Items with community input, City
Management and City Council direction, setting our community on a 20-year journey towards making Fort Worth
a greener, and increasingly better place to live, while arriving at operational sustainability.

Amendments for the Southeast Landfill will be necessary to implement future preservation aspects and rate
adjustments, the high-BTU landfill gas to energy system and preservation of safe and affordable solid waste
disposal capacity for Fort Worth’s residential waste stream until 2060 or beyond.

Solid Waste plans to expand the City’s Recycle Right and supporting regional Know What to Throw behavior-based
enforcement campaigns to reduce costly residential contamination levels. Both campaigns will improve sorted
