Residents of Fort Worth have an upcoming opportunity to weigh in on a major infrastructure project aimed at improving local traffic flow and safety. The City of Fort Worth has announced plans to extend Everman Parkway, connecting it between Chisholm Trail Parkway and I-35, with the next phase of public engagement set for a community open house scheduled for Thursday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The venue is Agape Community Fellowship Church at 1420 W Everman Pkwy, Fort Worth, TX 76134.
The open house will provide residents an updated look at the project design, encouraging dialogue between the community, and the construction team leads. Information on the construction phases and the overall schedule will be available, a representation of the urgency and significance of this project for daily commuters, and others who depend on the thoroughfare. Importantly, the open house is not the only channel for feedback; the city is offering a month-long virtual comment period starting on the same day.
The Everman Parkway Extension project includes the construction of a bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad and a new crossing over Sycamore Creek. This is part of the city's broader initiative to enhance safety, and connectivity in an area experiencing growth and increased traffic demands. To serve those unable to attend in person, a virtual component on the project website will feature meeting materials for public review from March 27 to April 27. This component offers a chance for engagement for those who prefer the digital realm or cannot make the specified open house hours.
