2017-074 McKinney SidewalksDate: October 6, 2017 Report No. 2017-074 INFORMAL STAFF REPORT TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBJECT: Overview of the current state of sidewalks along McKinney Street identifying missing segments and options. BACKGROUND: On September 12, 2017 Council requested that staff assess the condition of sidewalks on McKinney Street with respect to City properties and the railroad crossing. DISCUSSION: A survey was done of the McKinney Street corridor to assess missing sidewalk segments and existing sidewalk in need of repair. Staff has identified a number of missing segments in the corridor between Bell Avenue and Loop 288 including the frontage of City properties (Mack Park, DME Substation, and Fire Station 2). Attachment 1 shows the current state of sidewalks along the McKinney Street corridor. There are two missing segments identified in green that are funded through the Traffic Safety Fund at a cost of $95,000 with construction to be completed this fiscal year. The sidewalk is intermittent in the area east of Loop 288 to Ryan High School. Funding has been identified to build a temporary sidewalk in this segment from the McKinney Street Widening Project fund at a cost of $430,000. The temporary sidewalk is expected to be complete prior to the beginning of the 2018 school year. Staff has attempted to identify three options to address the lack of sidewalks on McKinney Street. A map and cost summary of the options below are included in Attachment 2.  Option 1 could be the addition of sidewalks to the frontage of City properties with a total cost of $778,000. The crossing at the railroad and pedestrian bridges for crossing the channel running adjacent to Mack Park substantially increase cost. If Council directed staff to proceed with this option, there would still be a number of missing segments along the corridor. This option does not include repairs to existing sidewalk or improvements to major intersections.  Option 2 could be the addition of sidewalks to make a continuous path along McKinney Street from Carroll Blvd to Audra Ln and would not be affected by the McKinney Street Widening Project. The total cost for this option would be $729,000. This option does not include repairs to existing sidewalk or improvements to major intersections.  Option 3 depicts the addition of sidewalks to make a continuous path along the McKinney Street corridor from Carroll Blvd to Audra Ln. Staff has focused on the sections along the south side of the street because this provides the lowest cost option for a continuous path. The total cost for this option is $2.2 million. In the total, $255,000 is Date: October 6, 2017 Report No. 2017-074 included for repairs to existing sidewalk and $300,000 for improvements to major intersections. Please note if direction was given to implement this option staff would need to identify additional funding to complete the project. Funding is available from the 2014 bond program for sidewalk improvements. In February 2016, staff presented a sidewalk list of 27 projects to Mobility Committee and seven of those projects have been completed. In order to provide equity in prioritization of sidewalk projects, staff has developed a sidewalk implementation plan that ranks the sidewalk projects based on a methodology of Pedestrian Potential Index and Deficiency Index. Through this new initiative any proposed project, including citizen requested projects, would be ranked using the previously discussed methodology and completed based on available funding. The sidewalk implementation plan is scheduled for discussion with the Mobility Committee on October 10. If the 2014 bond funds were to be used for any of the options presented other prioritized projects would be delayed until additional funding was available. In June 2016 the City and Texas Department of Transportation entered into an agreement to transfer McKinney Street (FM 426) to the City with the transfer of $18,267,303 to be used for widening the street from 1.4 miles west of Loop 288 to 1.1 miles east of Loop 288. Staff has included on the October 10 City Council meeting a Professional Engineering Services agreement for the design and construction of the McKinney Street Widening Project. This project is estimated to be complete by October 2020 and included in the project is the construction of sidewalks. This project would likely make sidewalk additions from Audra to Loop 288 stranded costs because they would be affected by the street widening project. ATTACHMENT(S): 1. Sidewalk Survey 2. Options 3.
