HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 09 - Rail Corridor Proposal MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
2
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER ��
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 15, 2016
SUBJECT: RAIL CORRIDOR PROPOSAL
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider the attached proposal for the initial phase of the study of the
Dallas Road Corridor, near the TexRail station area.
BACKGROUND:
As the City of Grapevine and its partners moved forward with the TexRail station design,
Council determined as a part of the 2016 Strategic Plan, that a study of the Dallas Road
corridor was needed as the potential for Dallas Road alterations/enhancements can
have a significant effect on the ongoing rail station design. In addition, there is a need to
determine a consistent set of design standards along the corridor as new development
and redevelopment occur. Finally, it's important to design the streetscape so that it is
appealing to pedestrians without impacting the circulation of vehicles.
A design/planning/engineering team consisting of ArchiTexas, Gateway Planning, and
Huitt-Zollars Engineering has prepared the attached proposal for the initial phase of the
study. If City Council approves and wishes to proceed with work outlined in the
presentation, staff will schedule an action item for consideration at the next meeting.
Staff recommends approval.

Dallas Road/Main Street Station Initiative
Grapevine, Texas
11.8.16
Objective
• Work with the City of Grapevine to establish a conceptual urban design plan for Dallas
Road from Texan Trail to William D Tate Avenue that can accommodate the futl range of
public mobility needs including vehicle circulation, pedestrian circulation and cycling
that takes into consideration the appropriate projected future redevelopment potential
of this corridor.The design should respond to the need to create an environment that
encourages and attracts quality and appropriate development while creating a suitable
urban space which is pedestrian friendly and memorable that connects the various
future developments.
• Create effective redevelopment context and plan at the intersection of South Main and
Dallas Road to inform and enhance the proposed Tex-Rail and Grapevine Train Station
development project.
Process
• Undertake work in phases,with initial work effort focusing on Dallas Road's design
relationship to the station-area in order to ensure effective multimodal access with
emphasis on walkability and context sensitive alignment between the new development
and the roadway context.
� Utilize traffic analysis to consider the most appropriate roadway design.
• Undertake additional planning analysis of the project area to further refine the
projected market and potential uses along the corridor and prescribe the most
appropriate architectural response for the respective character zones and integrate into
a form based code for the corridor.
• Eventually reinvent Dallas Road from Texan Trail to William D Tate Avenue as a great
unban environment that reflect the (see attached Roanoke example)

Team
• Craig Melde of Architexas, Scott Polikov of Gateway Planning and Tony Sosebee of Huitt-
Zollars will lead the team to provide a multi-disciplined capacity so that the redesign of
Dallas Road functions both for local destination redevelopment and regional traffic
operations
Scope/Budget/Timeline
• The proposed attached scope and budget attached reflect an initial work effort to
complement the TexRail station-area initiative
• The timeline for completing this work will be approximately 60 to 90 days
• After the initial phase, the City Council, Staff and the consultant team will determine
next steps to analyze in detail the redesign and redevelopment opportunities for the
remainder of the corridor

Task Total
1. Existing Conditions Assessment(Site visit+Base Map+Est. Mkt. Potential)
I
a. Analyze general existing development, roadway function,traffic projections
b. Develop base map of existing conditions, ownership and constraints (assumes City
to provide public infrastructure,topo, aerial mapping,traffic count data, property
ownership information, as well as station-area design from TexRail)
c. Assess market potential from existing data (half-day follow up Staff Session)
$ 19,850
2. Prepare for and facilitate 1/2-day design workshop with consulting team and
staff to develop sketch-level Dallas Road redesign concept including analysis of
TOD station area context and high-level look at remainder of corridor from Texan
Trail to William D Tate Ave/Ball Street
$ 13,200
3.Prepare Refined Dallas Road sketch level concept with emphasis at Rail Station
(Concept to be also delivered in CAD only at general rail station area)
a. Identify Pedestrian Zones (public and private frontage interface), parking,cycling
facility if feasible,general lane widths at Rail Station
b. Determine whether major reconstruction or minor interventions make sense
based on sketch level concept at Rail Station
c. Refine very rough sketch-level complete street concept for remainder of corridor
anticipating future additional planning to determine build-out planning,connectivity
strategies,future anticipated major access and overlay strategies
d.Assess transportation capacity of a reconfigured Dallas Road addressing vehicular
traffic flows,traffic volumes,truck needs,and bicycles in a technical memorandum
or short report for review by the City. $ 23,950
4. Prepare for and present sketch level Dallas Road concept and interface with Rail
Station at City Council and Planning&Zoning Commission work session
