BACKGROUND:
Denton County has been spearheading the development of a funding package to
implement main lane improvements on SH 121. These improvements will ultimately
extend from FM 2499 to the Denton / Collin County Line east of Lewisville and include
an interchange at IH -35E. The cost of these improvements is estimated at $145.8
million. The segment of this project in Grapevine, extending from FM 2499 to Denton
Creek comprises $40 million of the $145.8 total cost.
NCTCOG has ranked the Grapevine segment of the overall project as the top priority in
the SH 121 corridor due to its existing traffic volumes, its projected traffic volumes, and
its role in serving the north entrance of the DFW Airport and northeast Tarrant County.
Without improvements to this segment of the project, improvements to the remainder of
the corridor have little effect due to this segment's lane restrictions and at grade,
signalized crossings.
Denton County has committed $8.25 million from their bond funds for this project.
NCTCOG has committed $30 million from the Metroplex allocation Of TEA -21 Funds,
and the cities in the corridor have been asked to commit $10 million for a total of $48.25
million toward the total project cost. The balance of the funding from TxDOT's NHS
funds should be available in April or May of this year.
Denton County has committed to the City of Grapevine to withhold $4 million of the
$48.25 million for the design of the segment in Grapevine. Design of the segment by
Denton County's consultants will begin once the segment has received environmental
clearance. The environmental clearance for the Grapevine segment is being completed
as part of the SH 114 / SH 121 MIS, currently underway. Once environmental clearance
has been issued for the Grapevine segment, expected in late 2000 or early 2001,
TxDOT staff will administratively reclassify the segment to Level II funding which
authorizes the design of the segment and the preparation of Plans, Specifications, and
Estimates (PS&E).
Staff recommends approval.
