Master Transportation Plan Task 4: Gap Analysis and Needs Network
3.6.3.2 Performance Gaps Gaps in the existing bikeway network do not affect the population evenly. Figure 46 highlights the number of people living beyond 0.5 mile of an existing on-street or off-street bikeway. To calculate this number, existing bikeways were buffered and then overlapped with 2023 ACS block groups. The percentage overlap was calculated for each block group and then multiplied by the block group’s total population to estimate the number of people in the block group living within or not within a half mile of a bikeway. For example, if 100 people lived in a certain block group and 20 percent of the block group overlapped with the bikeway half-mile buffer, 80 people would be estimated to live in a performance gap area. Because Fort Worth’s on-street and off-street bikeway networks are centralized around the downtown area, the greatest population performance gaps exist on the city’s periphery. Key areas with the highest population performance gap densities include: • Neighborhoods in Northwestern Fort Worth on either side of 287 Business • North of I-820 near Marine Creek Lake • Meadowcreek neighborhoods between Sycamore School Road and the southern city limits • Sandybrook and Harmony Hills neighborhoods near I-30 and I-820 in northeast Fort Worth
