at this intersection. The nearest crossing opportunity is at Crowley Road, a quarter mile away. Recommendation : Increase pedestrian crossing time. Review signal timing to allow for more frequent crossing opportunities. Consider installation of median pedestrian Island. Install protected pedestrian crossings at the intersection for crossing West Everman Parkway, as well as associated signalization and other infrastructure Issue : Adequate sidewalks are available on the northeast corner of the intersection, although there are some obstructions due to electrical box and parking design. Sidewalks on the southeast corner are slightly deteriorated and somewhat overgrown. Recommendation : Reconstruct or repair sidewalks. Issue : There are multiple driveways accessing the gas station on the southeast corner, creating multiple conflicts for pedestrians and other users in the intersection area. Recommendation : Consolidate driveways.

Recommendation Implementation Table Table 144 below summarizes the full list of Corridor and Intersection recommendations to reduce crashes for all modes and enhance the safety along the Sycamore School Road corridor. Each recommendation has an estimated applicable CMF and timeframe that reflects whether the recommendation is an ideal Short - (1 -3 years), Mid- (3 -5 years), or Long- (5+ years) term project, based on feasibility, crash reduction benefit and cost. Costs are based on TxDOT Bid Averages in fall of 2024 and unit prices provided by the City of Fort Worth. Construction, engineering, and contingency are included in these costs. All assumptions are detailed in the Toolkit.
