FROM: RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER SA2,
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 6, 2013
SUBJECT: WORKSHOP — UPDATE ON DFW CONNECTOR
The DFW Connector project is expected to reach substantial completion in September
2013. As with any large project, there are several outstanding design issues that have
become apparent during the course of the project. Staff will provide an update on the
noteworthy items and the actions already being taken to address them.
Topics include:
• Potential for a new ramp from southbound William D. Tate Avenue (SH 121
frontage road) to southbound SH 360
• Potential for a new driveway from back of Tom Thumb shopping center to Wall
Street
• Potential for a free right -turn lane from eastbound SH 114 frontage road to
southbound William D. Tate Avenue
• Striping/signage changes on both frontage roads at Northwest Highway/FM 1709
to provide dual left turn lanes
• Striping/signage changes on Northwest Highway at Park Boulevard to reduce
driver confusion and lane changing
