City Council Authorizes C/A Combo Open House

Aug. 8, 2002

On August 8, 2002, the Fort Worth City Council authorized hosting an Open House to present a combined design proposal for the SH-121T project in the vicinity of I-30. Based on the many comments received from the City’s Public Information Meetings on May 29th and 30th, and in coordination with area property owners and the City’s participation partners, the North Texas Tollway Authority and the Texas Department of Transportation, the City has directed its technical team members to develop a combined design for SH-121T as it interchanges with I-30 in the vicinity of Summit Avenue and Forest Park Blvd. The proposed design (the "C/A Combo") in this area combines elements of two alternatives previously presented to the public and which are still under study as part of the environmental clearance process for the project. The City anticipates that the C/A Combo would better respond to safety, local and IH-30 access and circulation concerns.

The Open House will be held on Wednesday, August 21, 2002 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Fort Worth Botanical Gardens Oak Hall at 3220 Botanic Garden Boulevard, off University Drive. The Open House facility is wheelchair accessible. For accommodations or sign interpretive services, please call the City Manager’s Office at 871-6143, 48 hours in advance.

Also on August 8, 2002, the latest Action Plan was presented to City Council. The City is moving forward with SH-121T project development based on the tasks and timeframes identified in the Action Plan.
