COUNCIL GOALS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

COUNCIL GOAL :

EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

Strive to provide improved traffic flow and mass transit
opportunities for our growing community.

Objectives:

 Maintain leadership role on regional transportation issues

 Continue to address congestion as it relates to local traffic flow

 Continue to address street conditions

 Develop transportation options around local rail stations

Accomplishments:

 As part of the 2020 Street Bond Program, a construction contract was awarded by City Council
for the Bedford Euless Road project with work planned to begin in July 2022. Final design
and franchise utility coordination is underway on Glenview Drive East, Glenview Drive West,
and Iron Horse East. Survey and early design is currently underway on Iron Horse West and
Lariat Trail. Construction was completed on the first two residential streets: North Hills Drive
and Nor’East Drive.

 A new traffic signal was installed at Northeast Parkway and Davis Boulevard to accommodate
increased traffic at the newly reconstructed Smithfield Elementary campus. Following signal
activation, the Northeast Parkway pavement extension was completed in December,
connecting Davis to Smithfield just south of the new school and north of the city-owned tract
located in the Smithfield TOD.

 Since the start of the Transportation Management Program, the Traffic Division has outfitted
15 intersections with the new system, and 10 more intersections are scheduled to be
completed within the current project. Public Works has partnered with Information
Technologies to complete not only the initial scheduled project, but also to provide
communications to all City owned infrastructure through a network of radios. These
communication radios will help IT and Public Works dispense information from signalized
intersections and City structures back to City Hall and the Service Center for monitoring.
