Project Schedule • Currently at Final Design with incorporated Citizen Comments • Contract Execution for Construction – Spring 2020 • Start Construction – Summer 2020 • Estimated Construction Duration: 5 Months • Phase 1: 2 Months (Existing Light Replacement) • Phase 2: 3 Months (New Street Lights at Intersections)

MY FW App The new My Fort Worth (MyFW) app is now available. After downloading the app, users can provide a brief description, photos and use a map-based location feature to submit issues like graffiti, potholes or high grass. Once submitted, the request will go directly to the appropriate city work team for a quick response. The user can view the status of the request in the app and receive a notification when the work is complete. Service requests for Code Compliance, Human Resources, Park & Recreation and Transportation & Public Works are all currently available on the app. MyFW also saves time and money by automating many employee tasks. It saves gas and eliminates travel by enabling city staff to instantly upload reports and photo documentation from the worksite. Employees can initiate work orders from their office or in the field. The app interfaces with many existing workflow systems, making responses to residents more efficient and accurate. Download MyFW on the App Store or Google Play.

Questions? Interstate 30 Bryant Irvin Lackland

FAQs • Why are streetlights being added at Intersections? • Streetlighting is being added for intersections where no streetlighting exists in an effort to bring existing neighborhoods up to current City of Fort Worth standards to create and maintain a clean, attractive city as well as enhance safety for the general public in traversing through the neighborhood. • Where will the streetlights be added? • Streetlights will be added in Public Right of Way (ROW) and located at intersections without existing streetlights. Locations will be determined to provide the least amount of impact to existing property and landscaping. • Will trees be impacted? • New streetlights at intersections will utilize underground wiring. The underground wiring will be routed to avoid damage to trees. The underground wiring will be installed with limited damage to existing grass as it will be installed underground without the need for an open trench. • Will there be a traffic impact? • No traffic impact is expected as the existing streets will remain open for public use.
