BACKGROUND In the last five years, the City of Denton has seen a considerable amount of growth in traffic associated with a significant influx of residential and commercial development throughout the City. In particular there are three areas in the City that are experiencing considerable green field development and projected to add significant residential and commercial units in the next decade. Hickory Creek Road is a primary arterial in one such high-growth areas. It extends from FM 2499 to IH 35W and is on the C-west connectivity in this area of the City from FM 2499 to US 377 and IH 35W. The section between FM 2499 and FM 2181 is currently under design for roadway widening. The section between FM 2181 to Riverpass will begin construction in March 2019. The section of Hickory Creek Road between Riverpass and IH 35W is approximately 4 miles in length and lies within the jurisdiction of the City of Denton, Denton County, and TxDOT. There have been discussions between the three entities about partnering opportunities to design and construct the improvements for this section of the roadway. A feasibility study is currently underway to determine the best alignment and street section for the current and future traffic growth projections in this area. The segment of Hickory Creek Road between Riverpass Drive and FM 1830 is currently under design and two options along the same alignment are under review. The first option provides a bridge over the floodplain and an at-grade railroad crossing just west of Riverpass Drive. The second option provides a bridge over the existing floodplain along with a grade separated railroad crossing over the Kansas City Southern (KCS) tracks just west of Riverpass Drive. Staff would like to receive direction regarding the selection of a preferred option. Once selected, staff will move forward with the engineering design for the preferred option EXHIBITS 1.

McKinney Street Denton, Texas www.cityofdenton.com _____________________________________________________________________________________ AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: Capital Projects CM/ DCM/ ACM: Mario Canizares DATE: May 6, 2019 SUBJECT Receive a report, hold a d program including amending the inter-local agreement with UNT. BACKGROUND Last summer the City Council authorized implementation of a pilot bike share program throughout the City including the University of North Texas (UNT) campus. UNT in partnership with VeoRide operates 250 bicycles on its campus via an Inter-Local Agreement (ILA) with the city. VeoRide and UNT are the only two entities that are currently permitted to operate bikeshare within the City of Denton. Under the ILA, UNT has deployed 250 bicycles at various campus locations. UNT has entered into a partnership with VeoRide to provide logistical support of the program. VeoRide is the only private bike share operator that submitted for and received a City of Denton dockless bike share permit. VeoRide is authorized to operate an additional 100 bikes throughout the city under its permit. There are currently 350 bicycles within Denton (250 on UNT and 100 in town). The proposed Bike Share Ordinance will include two changes to the UNT ILA - total number of bikes deployed (from existing 250 to proposed 400) and the sunset date of May 31, 2019 of the existing Bike Share Pilot program. The current ILA allows the University to have 250 total bikes stationed on campus and it authorized the Pilot Program to extend through the Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 Semesters with a program termination on May 31, 2019. City staff and UNT agree that the city bikeshare pilot program has been successful with minimal operational issues. As such, staff recommends implementation of a permanent Bike Share program (remove the expiration date). OPTIONS 1. Authorize the implementation of a permanent Bike Share program without any expiration date. 2. Take no action and allow the City Bike Share program to lapse and terminate automatically after May 31, 2019. 3. Provide staff direction. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends option 1 to authorize implementation of a permanent Bike Share program without any expiration date. ESTIMATED SCHEDULE OF PROJECT The current bikeshare authorization expires on May 31, 2019. Reauthorization will allow the program to continue. PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (Council, Boards, Commissions) This item was presented before the City Council in July of 2018. A one-year pilot program was authorized via Ordinance 18-1203. FISCAL INFORMATION The Bike Share program incurs no cost to the city. Both VeoRide and UNT have paid their permit fees and posted a bond with the city to cover the costs of program administration.
