Summary
The Fort Worth City Council approved over $26 million in additional funding for 11 high-priority transportation projects, funded by transportation impact fees and intended for roadway expansion; vote details were not specified in the announcement.
The Fort Worth City Council approved more than $26,000,000 in additional funding for 11 high-priority transportation projects, a City of Fort Worth staff member said in a city news announcement.
City officials said the money comes from transportation impact fees, which the announcement noted may only be used to expand roadways. The announcement listed several streets that will receive improvements, including McCart Avenue, Avondale Hazlett Road and Ray White Road.
The funding is intended to keep the listed projects "on track" to meet demand from the city's growth, the announcement said. The statement did not include a project-by-project breakdown, construction schedules or the council vote tally; those details were not specified in the announcement.
Officials identified the funding source as transportation impact fees. The announcement described the allocation as "additional funding" of more than $26 million for 11 projects but did not say whether the allocation amends an existing capital program or creates a new line item in the capital budget.
The city directed readers to fortworthtexas.gov/news for more information; the announcement did not include a staff contact, exact timing for construction, or specific vote records.
