New sidewalks are coming to Pinson Street, from Village Creek Road to Carverly Avenue, in southeast Fort Worth’s City Council District 5.
The $2.6 million Pinson Street Sidewalk Improvements Project — funded through the city’s 2022 bond program approved by voters — was designed to improve safety, accessibility and mobility along the approximately 5,500 feet of Pinson serving Stop Six’s Sunrise and Parkside neighborhoods.
The project includes replacing noncompliant sidewalks and curb ramps, constructing ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps, reconstructing driveways where necessary, installing pedestrian signage and pavement markings, and making utility adjustments.
The city will take additional measures to minimize impact on adjacent properties, including tree preservation and the use of retaining curbs.
The city’s Transportation and Public Works Department held a community meeting June 16 to discuss the project.
Representatives explained construction phasing, traffic management plans and resident notification.
Traffic flow and property access will be maintained throughout construction, with work expected to begin in July and continue for approximately 180 days, members of the project team told attendees.
