Project 104758: Install a bulb out at Glasgow and Oak Grove and upgrade the sidewalks for 2,000 feet on the north and south sides of Glasgow Road and the west and east sides of Oak Grove Road.

Goals:

• Improve pedestrian mobility, connectivity and safety by constructing sidewalks and ADA-compliant pedestrian curb ramps along Glasgow Road between De Cory Road and

  Highland Hills Community Center,

  and along Oak Grove Road from Roma Lane to Engblad Drive. Existing sidewalks will be left undisturbed with a few replacement areas.

• Provide safe access to surrounding churches, businesses, public transit stops, a park and a community center.
• Project funded by 2022 city bond program funds.

Timetable for the project

• Start: July 2025
• Project duration: 180 calendar days
• Anticipated completion: January 2026
• Working hours: 7 a.m.-6 p.m. weekdays, possible weekend daytime hours

Workshop presentation: According to city personnel, drivers and pedestrians will benefit.

In addition to curb ramps and walkways, the project will install rectangular rapid flashing lights to warn cars of pedestrians crossing the street and new pavement striping.

According to the staff, the new light at Glasgow and Oak Grove will restrict the road, improve visibility, and promote slower speeds by extending the walkway and curb line into the street.

Attending residents questioned why the city had taken down the neighborhood’s speed bumps after earlier construction. Emergency response delays were assumed to be the cause. In order to connect with the MyFW app and request maintenance and repairs or chat with a representative, the staff advised residents to text 817-835-6939 with any future complaints.

Concerns were also raised by locals regarding the number of trees that will be cut down, the renovation of the driveway, and potential harm to the sprinkler systems.
