Home My WebLink AboutItem 08 - Rail Corridor Proposal MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER ��' MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 20, 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. At the November 15, 2016 City Council meeting, Craig Melde from ArchiTexas presented a proposal that would include a planning study and concept plan for the Dallas Road Corridor from Texan Trail to William D. Tate Avenue in anticipation of the Grapevine Main Street TexRail station and hotel. At the meeting, the Council expressed concern with entertaining any plans that would decrease the number of lanes on the road. Craig Melde will be present to discuss the updated proposal at the meeting. The primary differences between the original proposal and new proposal are: • Limits the scope of the project to the section of Dallas Road from Dooley Street to William D. Tate Avenue. • Delays the more comprehensive planning aspects of the study, focusing on engineering and architectural design of Dallas Road. • Changes the final product of the proposal from a concept plan to a 30% design of the road. It is important to focus on the physical changes first as the rail station design is moving forward rapidly. In addition, there is opportunity to submit a grant application for corridor median landscaping, pedestrian enhancements, lighting and sidewalks to the North Central Texas Council of Governments by February 2017. ARCHITEXAS A r c h i t e c t u r e , P 1 a n n i n g a n d H i s t o r i c P r e s e r v a t i o n , 1 n c December 14, 2016 From: Craig Melde, Sr. Principal Architexas 1907 Marilla Dallas,Texas 75201 To: Bruno Rumbelow, City Manager City of Grapevine 200 S. Main Street Grapevine,Texas 76051 Re: Dallas Road Plan Grapevine,Texas Architexas is pleased to submit this proposal for architectural and engineering services to prepare a plan for public improvements to Dallas Road in Grapevine. In the 1990's, Dallas Road was redesigned and widened to accommodate a growing community and accommodate increase east-west local, commuter and commercial traffic between Texan Trail and Highway 26. Dallas Road was widened to a four lane thoroughfare with a central left turn lane.While the increase in traffic has been accommodated, the existing thoroughfare is utilitarian in design. Development of properties fronting this roadway is changing from heavy commercial development to mixed uses including retail and residential uses. Grapevine desires to improve the visual quality of Dallas Road that creates an environment and urban space that is pedestrian friendly and that can accommodate a full range of mobility needs providing trail, pedestrian and bike accommodations, yet maintaining a 4-lane configuration for traffic flow within this primary roadway. In addition, creating an improved redevelopment context and plan at the intersection of Main Street and Dallas Road will also have a positive impact on the Main Street Historic District and the planned new Grapevine Station project on the northeast corner. Connection to the Cotton Belt Trail needs to be made at the William D.Tate intersection and that trail extended eastward along Dallas Road in accordance with the City's trail plan. The project team of Architexas with Huitt Zollars proposes to undertake the redesign of Dallas Road to accommodate the goals of Grapevine. The limit of the Dallas Road project in this proposal is from Dooley Street to William D Tate Avenue, a length of approximately 3500 feet. The following is our proposed approach. 1907 Marilla Dallas, Texas 75201 Tel 214.748.4561 Fax 214.748.4241 Dallas Road Plan December 14, 2016 Page 2 PROJECT TEAM The following are the project team members assigned to the project and their roles and responsibilities: Architexas Craig Melde, Sr. Principal Principal in Charge John Allender, Principal Project Architect Huitt Zollars Tony Sosebee, PE Principal in Charge Kenneth Roberts, PE Project Engineer Chris Scott, PE Project Landscape Design SCOPE OF WORK PHASE 1 -Schematic(Concept) Design (to 30%IeveU Prepare a plan which provides traffic flow east and west bound, local access to adjacent properties, coordination with the Grapevine Station project that provides pedestrian and trail connections with safe and highly visible crossings, adds landscaping for shade and aesthetics, and lighting for nighttime safety for motorists and pedestrians.
