Additional areas may be added based on Trinity Metro’s upcoming 2050 Long-Range Transit Plan.
Within Compact Development Areas, cross- sections are designed to support walkable, mixed-use environments where shorter trips, higher pedestrian activity, and an active street edge shape how streets function. On- street parking is provided to serve adjacent businesses and activate the street edge, while a protected on-street bike lane and separate sidewalk replace the shared-use path used on standard corridors — separating pedestrians and cyclists to improve comfort and safety in environments with high foot traffic and frequent curb activity. Principal Arterials are exempt from these modifications given their regional mobility function. The applicable overlay designations for each corridor are shown in Figure ES.17 .
The cross-section standards and overlay designations established in this chapter constitute the official requirements applicable to City-controlled roadways. The official boundaries, extents, and classifications of all network maps are maintained by TPW and available through the City of Fort Worth Open Data Portal at https://data.fortworthtexas.gov/ gov. All static maps shown in this chapter are illustrative. Within Compact Development Areas, the cross-section standards established in this chapter apply to all City-controlled roadways as a baseline. Where adopted CDA sub-district regulations address the same element, the CDA sub-district regulations shall govern.

Figure 1.4 illustrates how cross-section design changes under each overlay context for a typical classified roadway. See specific cross- section requirements in Section 1.7.4. Within Freight Priority Areas, cross-sections are designed to support efficient goods movement and industrial access where heavy vehicle activity, higher truck volumes, and loading operations shape how streets function. Travel lanes are widened to 12 feet to accommodate the turning radii and operational needs of large vehicles. A separated shared-use path moves active transportation out of the travel way to reduce conflicts with freight traffic and improve safety for all users. These modifications apply across all classifications within Freight Priority Areas.
