The project aims to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety along Everman Parkway, which borders Fort Worth and Everman, by installing bike lanes, shared-use paths, and enhanced crosswalks to connect four schools. The project addresses the current lack of safe paths for students biking or walking to school.

Citizen Impact

This project will improve pedestrian and bicycle safety for students traveling to schools along Everman Parkway by adding bike lanes and safe paths. Funding is primarily provided by Tarrant County and the City of Everman, with Fort Worth contributing design and inspection soft costs, minimizing direct impact on resident taxes.
