INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
With the completion of the new Denton Independent School District (DISD) high school west of the
intersection of Bronco Way and North Bonnie Brae Street, along with the new DISD elementary school to
the east of the same intersection, City Staff have been directed to evaluate the potential construction of the
undeveloped portions of Riney Road East, extending from Hardaway Road to US 77 (North Elm Street).
The Riney Road East Project will include the development of two (2) separate segments of concrete
roadway. The primary segment, approximately 1,310 linear feet in length, will provide a widened
connection to Elm Street (US77). The secondary segment, approximately 270 linear feet, will widen the
roadway along the street frontage on both sides of Hardaway Road.
In addition to roadway improvements, the project will feature a 10-foot-wide concrete hike and bike trail
linking the new DISD elementary school property to the City of Denton Northlakes Park trails system. This
trail will incorporate a prefabricated pedestrian bridge to span an existing drainage swale and will connect
a concrete walkway located west of the softball fields.
The Riney Road East Improvement Project has a total estimated project construction cost of $1,947,434.29.
This estimate includes a $1,854,699.32 total base bid amount and a contingency of $92,734.97. The
contingency allowance is for the sole use of the City and will be subject to written authorization by the
City’s Project Manager and Program Manager.
