1.8.3. Transit-Supportive Areas (Subclassification)
Local Streets are not intended to accommodate higher-speed travel or large-scale multimodal facilities. Bicycles typically share the roadway with vehicles, and sidewalks or sidepaths are placed according to subdivision requirements and adjacent land-use context. In new or redeveloping areas, sidewalk placement near the property line may be used to create space for landscaping, street trees, lighting, or other pedestrian amenities. Additional requirements for Local Streets, including standards for the City’s ETJs, are governed by the Fort Worth Subdivision Ordinance.
Transit-Supportive Areas, as shown in Figure 1.36 , identify corridors and catchment areas where the city is committed to proactively working with Trinity Metro and NCTCOG to create space for transit and explore how transit priority treatments and enhancement technologies can improve operations and reliability. These areas generally correspond to locations planned for higher transit-supportive densities and trip patterns, with enhanced multimodal access, transit connectivity, and mobility objectives. These areas reflect the City’s partnership approach to transit investment as part of a sustainable multimodal transportation system.

Figure 1.36: Standard Local Street Cross-Section
Standard Local Street (50-foot ROW) Standard Local Streets, as shown in Figure 1.36 , are by far the more common local street configuration. These streets are designed to accommodate parking on both sides, a configuration that keeps traffic speeds low in neighborhoods.
