Identifying Implementable Projects While the unconstrained needs network identifies all potential roadway improvements required to meet long-term mobility goals, not every project is feasible for immediate implementation. Many corridors in the Unconstrained Roadway Needs Network, as illustrated in Figure 6.9 , involve significant ROW acquisition, environmental clearance, and high construction costs, making improvements suited for long-range planning.
In contrast, projects identified through the Multimodal Gap & Network Needs Analysis represent improvements that can be delivered in the short term due to their relatively lower complexity, minimal property impacts, and alignment with available funding. These projects typically involve targeted infill connections or lane additions within existing corridors, allowing the City to address critical mobility challenges quickly and cost-efficient projects. Chapter 8 provides an in-depth overview of high-priority projects identified for upcoming investment cycles, outlining their strategic importance and anticipated impact on the transportation network.
Unconstrained Network Key Takeaways
■ Identified over 200 miles of new or widened corridors required to meet 2050 traffic demand. ■ Included major new arterials to connect growth areas in north and west Fort Worth. ■ Highlighted corridors needing 4–6 lane expansions to maintain acceptable LOS under future condition.
