The Regional Transportation Council has approved over $59 million in federal funding for 12 new bicycle-pedestrian projects across Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, and Denton counties. The funds will improve safety, air quality, and reduce traffic congestion.
Fort Worth received over $4 million for its McPherson-Summer Creek Safe Streets project, which aims to build shared-use paths, on-street bike facilities, and make traffic signal improvements. The city will contribute about $3.5 million, including bond funds.
Meanwhile, the city of Crowley plans to construct a new path as part of its Main Street Trail extension after receiving about $1.8 million in funding. In Richland Hills, $4.7 million was awarded for sidewalk and intersection improvements to enable students to safely walk to school.
The projects will improve road safety and mobility in the area. “This project is the design and construction of a series of bike lanes and safety improvements along McPherson Boulevard and Summer Creek Road,” said Kevin Isu, a Fort Worth senior professional engineer.
