pavement with curb and gutter, sidewalks, barrier -free ramps, driveway
approaches, and adjustments to the existing City utilities to allow for these
improvements.

Austin Street, CDBG Target Area designated as census tract 1137.05
Block Group 4, in the Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Low/Moderate Income Survey Data (LMISD).
These improvements will contribute to the upgrade of the areas by
providing an improved travel surface for motorists and pedestrians in the
neighborhood.
The construction cost estimate for this project including engineering is
$816,500 of which approximately $180,000 is expected to be provided by
Tarrant County. The City's match is expected to be $656,500. Engineering
costs estimated at $106,500 are paid for by the City.
The Application Process requires that the following statement be included
in the memo:
"The City shall be responsible for all costs of the 50th Year CDBG project
that exceeds the amount of the grant fund."
Staff recommends approval.
