ES.5.3. Master Roadway Network Components The Master Roadway Network is organized as a nested hierarchy of maps and overlays that together define how Fort Worth’s roadway system is classified, designed, and managed over time. The comprehensive network establishes full citywide classification, within which City-controlled roads are identified as a distinct subset, and overlays are then applied to that subset to reflect land use context and design priorities — providing a coordinated framework that guides right-of-way preservation, cross-section design, and capital investment decisions. Figure ES.13 illustrates how these overlays shape cross-section design across Standard, Freight Priority, and Compact Development Area contexts. ES.5.4. Network Maps Figure ES.14 illustrates the comprehensive Master Roadway Network, which provides full network classification across the city and its extraterritorial jurisdiction, including TxDOT- owned facilities, US and State highways, and all City-controlled roadways. Figure ES.15 illustrates the MRN – City Roads (MRN-CR) map, which identifies the subset of City-owned and maintained roads, classifying them as Principal Arterials, Major Arterials, Minor Arterials, and Major Collectors based on their role in connecting people and goods across the city.

Figure ES.16 illustrates the MRN-CR Ultimate Lane Map, which defines the planned long-term lane configuration for each City-controlled corridor, establishing the baseline for right-of- way preservation, capital project development, and near-term construction decisions. 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/. All static maps shown in this document are illustrative.
Figure ES.17 illustrates the network overlays, which are applied to the base network to reflect distinct travel patterns, land use, and design priorities in specific areas. Freight Priority Areas identify corridors supporting goods movement, while Compact Development Areas identify urban contexts where multimodal street design —including enhanced pedestrian and bicycle accommodations and on-street parking— is required.
