PROCESS: The Task Force met six (6) times between October 25th and February 23rd, to deliberate a number of sidewalk projects in the city. With the able assistance of the Community Development and Engineering Departments, and input from the Police Department, we also considered a new Sidewalk Ordinance, and street crossing policies by the City, the School District and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Meetings included attendance by the Facilities Staff of the Colleyville-Grapevine Independent School District, and also a representative of the Colleyville Police Department for which we are grateful. B. ISSUES: 1. Sidewalk Ordinance - The staff has prepared a new ordinance to regulate the construction of walks within the city. We have reviewed a draft and expect to be involved in public hearings when it comes before the City Council. The ordinance includes two features that we think are very important: · Sidewalk widths - the Task Force recommends that all walks along major streets in the City be no less than five feet wide. We have found that the old standard of four feet is simply too narrow to accommodate two-way pedestrian traffic. · Proximity of walks to street curbs - coupled with widths, disallowing walks from being built in close proximity to our major streets is another step in the direction of increasing the safety and use of our walks. Sidewalks built next to the curbs of our busiest streets could be a recipe for a tragic accident involving a student, a toddler or any pedestrian. The Task Force recommends that all sidewalks along the major thoroughfares be setback a minimum of two feet (2') from the curb. 2. ObtaininQ riahts-of-wav or easements - This is becoming an increasingly expensive aspect of sidewalk construction. Unfortunately too many of our top priority projects go uncompleted because there is not sufficient right-of-way to build them. Almost one-half of our recommended budget for this year is for the survey work and/or the purchase of right- of-way or easements to have sufficient space to build a walk. We strongly suggest that the City Council take a longer look at where we will need right-of-way in the future and factor in the need for safe pedestrian passage through these areas. 3. HiQhwav Department StripinQ - Lane MarkinQ - We found that a number of our Colleyville Blvd. intersections are effectively blocked from use by pedestrians because we do not provide walks, there are no walk don't-walk lights or the paths across the streets are not marked. The Task Force is prepared to recommend connecting walks in these areas, however the City must request TxDOT to study each area. They will perform the work if their evaluation indicates that pedestrian improvements are warranted. The City should write this letter of request. 4. Access to Colle wille Elementary and Middle School - When the Pecan Park Estates neighborhood was built many years ago, no provision was made for access to the schools to the south similar to the opening from the new Leyton Grove addition to the back of O.C. Taylor School. Our task force has worked on this for several years to try to find some route that would be convenient to all. No property owner along Ponderosa has come forward to offer his or her side yard easement to allow this passage to be built. Included Colleyville Sidewalk Task Force - 1999-2000 Report 1 in our recommendations is a proposal to utilize a drainage easement as a means of access to the schools. The Task Force urges the City Council to become involved in finding a better way to solve this long-standing problem, perhaps by joining with the Task Force to discuss the issue with the potentially affected property owners. 5. Roadwav Improvements at Intersections - There are a number of streets and intersections in the City that need improvement. Bogart at the two schools is very congested at certain times. The one-way situation needs to be studied, and an additional lane should be considered here. The frontage road in front of Hall's Exxon at Glade and SH 121 is confusing and a right turn lane should be considered. The proposed project will have to "work around" that intersection. Improvements in the immediate future at these locations would impact proposed Projects #1 and #2. C. PROJECTS: Project # 1 - Colleyville Elementary @ Bogart - This project provides for access to both the Colleyville Elementary and the Middle Schools from a brand new roadway. When the extension of Hall-Johnson was completed last fall it was apparent that more and better walks for the students would be needed in the area. The Task Force met with the facility planners for the GCISD School District to discuss a common strategy. The recommended project is the first phase of solving some of the pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area. The Task Force received input from the Police Department regarding placement of crossing guards and one-way traffic. The current one- way configuration causes confusion now. The addition of one traffic lane would eliminate the need for one-way traffic. Project # 2 - Glade Road under SH 121 - Because of the need for walks feeding the relatively new Heritage school complex, the Task Force has been working towards coordination with the cities of Grapevine and Euless. Currently this route requires even middle level students to negotiate about six lanes of freeway frontage traffic without sidewalks or protected crosswalks. While these walks will primarily serve students from Grapevine it is an essential link from Glade Road. The City of Grapevine has indicated an interest in pursuing this project, and they would bear the brunt of the costs. Our estimated costs include only that part in our city limits. Project # 3 - to Colleyville Middle School from Ponderosa St. - As noted in the issue discussion on the preceding page, this is an attempt to solve a long- standing problem. In fact this proposal is only one of three alternatives that the Task Force considered. The success of this project is contingent on 1) cooperation of the owners of the large commercial lot between the school and the neighborhood, and 2) being able to utilize the drainage-way from Ponderosa either outright or with some construction technique. Project #4 - Colleyville Blvd. intersection at Glade Rd. & Village Park Dr. - The Task Force has found several Colleyville Blvd. intersections that need improvement. This particular intersection is at the heart of our city and therefore a priority. Although this is our most built-up commercial area it is dangerous for pedestrians to negotiate their way across because there is a lack of walks connecting the corner, pedestrian lights and no lane makings. This project will accommodate those items in conjunction with TxDOT Colleyville Sidewalk Task Force - 1999-2000 Report 2 Project # 5 -Glade Road at Stafford to Bluebonnet - This small sidewalk is a continuation of the special project approved by the Council in December to continue walks along Glade further west along with other capital expenditures. That project stops at Stafford I and this recommendation takes the walk a little further to the intersection with Bluebonnet. These projects, along with the walk and intersection improvement Project #4 above, are big steps in completing Glade Road sidewalks across the entire community. Project # 6 - John McCain at Maranatha - In the near future, this project will be extremely important to connect the two Timarrons walks across Maranatha and primarily to connect to the Cottonbelt Trail system. If budget constraints prevent all of this project from being completed this year, we recommend beginning with right-of-way acquisitions. Construction could be completed the following year and would coordinate with the Cottonbelt construction. It is an expensive project due to the right-of-way need and the width of the walk. This walk here should be built at 8 feet wide to match the Timarron walks and eventually the Cottonbelt Trail walks. D. COSTS While the paving costs can be estimated fairly closely, easement and/or right-of-way (ROW) costs are more wide-ranging assumptions. Because of the potential for donation of rights-of-way, the final costs of some of the projects may be lower than expected, thus allowing for the completion of a greater number of projects. The total costs of the recommended projects exceeds the current allocated budget of $ 44,800. However because of the potential for cost savings in some of the projects, or that some projects may not be built at all, the Task Force included alternatives so that City Staff could include projects benefitting from any savings. The Task Force is not recommending that the allocated budget be exceeded, but rather that funds be spent starting with project #1 and working down until all funds are exhausted. E. RECOMMENDA TIONS The Task Force strongly recommends the adoption of policies and other matters contained in this report and the attachments and as summarized below: · Adopt this report from your Task Force as a list of priorities to work from this fiscal year · Adopt the proposed new Sidewalk Ordinance when it comes before you in several weeks · Prepare a letter to TxDOT to request appropriate steps to provide pedestrian lane marking (striping) and crosswalk lighting at all signalized Colleyville Blvd. intersections. · Officially urge the City of Grapevine to construct the walks at Glade Rd. under SH 121. · Assist us in trying to find a side yard easement as a route from Ponderosa St. to Colleyville Middle School.

ISSUES: * the completion of the Hall-Johnson extension, including a new 5' sidewalk, has necessitated the need to rearrange some of the existing walks in the area and provide new walks and crossings in other areas. * the one.way street and traffic flow in this area will also have to be reconsidered by the police, school administrators and parents. * GCISD Administration has agreed to construct a new walk along the east side to match walk coming along Colleyville Blvd. from the new intersection, and to move the crosswalk striping and guard to meet the new intersection at Bogart. * the existing asphalt walk along Colleyville Blvd. to the school will have to be repaired with asphalt and extended about 45' across the old Bogart right-of-way. PROPOSAL: To extend the walk from Hidden Oaks to the new Hall-Johnson intersection and across new median, removing the old striping and rebuild the chain-link fence on the school grounds to shift the location of the gate, and the position of the crossing guard (fence to be at GCISD expense). Also to retop the existing asphalt walk along Colleyville Blvd. to the southeast corner of the school.

DESCRIP: A sidewalk and two cross walks under SH121 on the north side of Glade Rd. and across Glade Road to Euless - to carry student traffic from Heritage Elementary, Middle and High schools to Grapevine and/or Euless east of SH 121, ISSUES: * there is a U-turn lane for southbound to northbound traffic from highway feeder road. * there is a 5' walk between the highway bridge base and the travel lane - which is dangerous for student crossings because it requires four separate crossings of multiple lanes. * there are pedestrian traffic signals at these corners. * there is a walk on the north side of Glade Rd. in Colleyville which stops about 35 - 40 feet short * permission must be sought from the State - TxDOT - for the walks * the obvious location for a walk along the guardrail also serves as drainage for that area. * Since the majority of this project in the City of Grapevine, their Public Works Department has studied this project with the Colleyville staff and has agreed to request funding to complete the construction within their city limits. The project would be coordinated with them. * Congestion at this corner is a problem. Council should consider a right turn lane being added. PROPOSAL: To create a walk along Glade to the intersection, and a striped crosswalk to the freeway island. This would constitute Colleyville's portion of the project. The major walk across the island and remaining striping would be completed by the City of Grapevine. The costs below reflect only Colleyville's portion of the project.

DESCRIP: A one-half block walk to extend the reach of the proposed Glade project from Stafford Dr. to the intersection with Bluebonnet Drive. ISSUES: ,. on December 21, 1999, the City Council appropriated funds to build a walk from Behrens Court to Stafford Drive, a distance of three blocks. This will complete a sidewalk along Glade Road all the way from the eastern city limits at SH121 to Stafford Drive. ,. after analysis of this project, the Task Force believes extending the walk one-half block further west would permit walkers to cross Glade at the Bluebonnet Drive intersection, rather than at mid block at Stafford. ,. this project will terminate the walk at a driveway, therefore some design measures will have to be employed to orient a pedestrian to turn to cross Glade. A barricade or some other measure may be necessary to accomplish this. ,. it is anticipated that property further west will develop within the next few years, which will cause Glade Road to be rebuilt At that time, the sidewalk will be extended further west and connect all the way to Colleyville Blvd. PROPOSAL: To create a permanent walk along one-half block of Glade Road from Stafford Dr. to Bluebonnet COSTS: ,. 170' of concrete walk @ $17.50/1.f. ,. engineering plans 1 survey ,. site prep, barricade construction ,. 33 feet of striping @ $3 1 lineal foot ,. easement costs (unknown)(est.) ,. continQencv and other costs ESTIMATED TOTAL = $ 2,975 = 1000 = 500 = 100 = 2500 = 500 = $ 7,575 VIEW OF GLADE RD.

AT MARANATHA COURT DESCRIP: Sidewalks across the face of the Maranatha Estates subdivision to connect the wide (8') sidewalks from Timarron Phase I to Timarron Phase II. This walk will eventually tie into the Cotton belt Trail system to the east, and also to walks along the Pebble Hill subdivision to the west. ISSUES: * the Timarron development has installed the required sidewalks across the perimeter street side of the subdivision, but at a larger than usual scale because of the conditions of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance. * this walk system will eventually connect with the Cotton belt Trail system to the east along Timarron Phase III development. The Cotton belt Trail system will connect Hurst and Colleyville to Grapevine. * on the west side there appears to be ample right-of-way and the land is relatively flat and will be simple to grade and construct, however on the east it may be necessary to acquire right-of-way from the property owner since that tract has not been platted and right-of-way has not been acquired. * this walk will be more expensive than normal since it will be connecting 8' wide walks and will be included as part of the Cotton belt Trail system. PROPOSAL: To connect the two walks in front of the new Timarron developments on the north side of John McCain Road. The walk would cross the face of the Maranatha Estates Addition on existing right- of-way. Since the grade here is relatively flat it is not likely that the walks would have to be rebuilt when (if) John McCain Road is rebuilt within a few years. COSTS: * 335' X 8' of concrete @ $ 28.00/lf =$ 9,380 * engineering / survey work = 1,500 * contingency and other costs = 500 * fence relocation = 2,000 * riaht-of-wav cost (3200 sf X $2) = 6.400 ESTIMATED TOTAL = $19,780 VIEW OF TIMARRON 8' SIDEWALK LOOKING FROM WEST TO EAST (towards Lot 1, Maranatha Estates) John McCain Road is to the right VIEW OF TIMARRON 8' SIDEWALK LOOKING FROM EAST TO WEST (towards Tract 1A1A) John McCain Road is to the left .~ 7'exas SIDEWALK TASK FORCE date: March 7, 2000 Mayor Arp, City Council Liaison Carroll, and other members of the Colleyville City Council Colleyville Sidewalk Priorities Task Force memo to: memo from: subject: Annual Report of Priority Recommendations Following is our annual Sidewalk Priorities" report to the City Council for this fiscal year. Below are a brief history, summary and our recommendations. The report contains a several page discussion of some of the issues we found in completing our work that are pertinent to pedestrian safety and student movement in the community and a summary of each proposed project. Attached to that is the detailed report of each project with maps, issues and breakdown of estimated costs and photos. BACKGROUND: The Colleyville Sidewalk Priorities Task Force was first established in 1992 by Resolution #R-92- 753 that set out the charge for the Task Force. The Primary Objective stated was to "prepare a list of sidewalk construction projects, ranked by priority for accomplishment by the City or by private interests." Due to the diligence of past Colleyville City Councils since that time, the Task Force has met annually to consider a wide range of projects, policies and ideas. Previous Task Forces have gathered the input of many citizens and sought the counsel of other City Departments, the School District and the State Highway Department. In the past, recommendations have been made for sidewalks, surveying for easements, engineering where necessary and have even proposed the construction of bridges. Task Forces have also commented to the City Council about what we perceive as needs in the community that are related to pedestrian safety and especially school student movement. To that end, we have also recommended certain policy or ordinance changes. Following is a summary of our report for the Fiscal Year 1999-2000. We have compiled a list of sidewalk priorities for construction using funds that you have allocated in this year's budget. This report contains the following: * Summary of our meetings, our work this year, discussion of the issues and some policy recommendations, and a summary of proposed projects. * Proposed Proiects with a city-wide map showing project locations, a table with a summary cost breakdown of each, a detail sheet on each project with map, issues and estimated costs and photos of various site features. RECOMMENDA TlONS: The Task Force recommends to the City Council: · Adopt this report from your Task Force as a list of priorities to work from this fiscal year. · Adopt the proposed new Sidewalk Ordinance when it comes before you in several weeks. · Prepare a letter to TxDOT to request appropriate steps to provide pedestrian lane marking (striping) and crosswalk lights at all signalized intersections of Colleyville Blvd. · Officially urge the City of Grapevine to construct the walks at Glade Rd. under SH 121. · Assist us in trying to find a side yard easement as a route from Ponderosa St. to Colleyville Middle School. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and the Citizens of Colleyville.
