City Of Fort Worth: Virtual Meeting To Discuss FM1187 West Of Chisholm Trail Parkway

Press release from City of Fort Worth:

March 04, 2022

The TxDOT Fort Worth District is proposing improvements to FM 1187 from Bella Flora Drive, at the Parker County Line, to Chisholm Trail Parkway. A prerecorded virtual public meeting presentation will be available beginning Tuesday, March 15, and will be available for comment until Wednesday, March 30.

To access the virtual public meeting, visit the TxDOT website and search for “FM 1187 West of Chisholm Trail Parkway.”

The proposed project would reconstruct and widen FM 1187 from an existing two-lane roadway to a four-lane roadway with a curbed grassy center median to enhance safety and improve capacity and connectivity. The project also includes adding shared-use paths in each direction for bicycle and pedestrian accommodation, intersection improvements (with possible realignment of the intersections at U.S. 377 involving the analysis of three alternatives), improvements to the at-grade Fort Worth and Western Railroad crossing (including a possible overpass alternative) and drainage improvements.

Estimated project cost is $105 million. The project is not currently funded for construction.
