Issue: Crosswalks across Ellis Ave are unmarked. Crosswalks across NW 26 th St are faded, eastern crosswalk is skewed. Stop bars are missing on Ellis Ave. Recommendation: Mark new high-visibility crosswalks and remark existing crosswalks as high visibility and with better alignments. Mark new stop bars and remark existing stop bars. Issue: There are long crossing distances. There is insufficient lighting at this intersection. The Fort Worth Branch Trail crosses diagonally from northwest to southeast, creating a two-stage crossing Recommendation : Install curb extensions, particularly on southwest curb. Install median crossing island on southern leg. Install/upgrade lighting. Consider treatments appropriate for trail crossings. Issue: Sidewalks lack sufficient buffer and have too much cross-slope. There is excessive vegetation on northeast corner of intersection that is blocking the sidewalk. Where the Fort Worth Branch Trail meets the sidewalk to become a sidepath on the northwest and southeast side, it is narrow (~7ft) and does not support shared operations. Recommendation: Remove obstructions on the northeast corner and construct a sidewalk on the east side to tie to existing sidewalk to the north.
