Curbside Management Curbside regulations in Fort Worth remain static, relying on fixed loading zones and parking meters without accounting for dynamic demand from deliveries, ride-hailing, and micromobility. This approach creates inefficiencies and conflicts in high-demand areas. The City should deploy real-time curb data tools, such as the Curb Data Specification, to enable adaptive management. Flexible curb zones that switch between loading, parking, and bike lanes based on time of day or demand can optimize space utilization. Piloting smart loading zones with reservation systems and dynamic pricing will help manage peak demand and reduce congestion. These strategies should be integrated with Transportation Demand Management incentives to encourage sustainable travel behavior.
Connectivity & Access Management Current policies emphasize site-level standards but lack enforcement of connectivity indices and network-level strategies. This results in fragmented development patterns and poor multimodal integration. Fort Worth should strengthen connectivity index enforcement and minimize waivers to develop a consistent application. Collector continuity planning should be mandated across subdivisions to create a cohesive street network. Introducing network-level access strategies aligned with multimodal priorities will improve safety and efficiency. Connectivity plans should also be coordinated with regional freight and transit corridors to support economic development and reduce congestion.
Outcome Curbside regulations are static, relying on fixed loading zones and parking meters. There is no dynamic system to manage competing demands from deliveries, ride-hailing, and micromobility. Recommendations ■ Deploy real-time curb data tools (e.g., Curb Data Specification) for adaptive management. ■ Create flexible curb zones that switch between loading, parking, and bike lanes based on demand. ■ Pilot smart loading zones with reservation systems and dynamic pricing. ■ Integrate curbside strategies with Transportation Demand Management incentives.
