Westgate Drive Improvement Project

Halff Associates continues to work on the permanent and temporary construction easements that will be needed for the construction project.

The City of Denton Real Estate Department and the Consultant Engineer have begun the process of preparing documents for right-of-way acquisitions.

The Consultant Engineer is completing the recommended changes to the 60% Plan Set.

The Consultant Engineer has submitted to the City the 60% Plan Set for its review. City Staff is checking the plan set for compliance with current standards.

The 30% Plan Schematic has been completed by the Consultant Engineer. City Staff has reviewed it and given direction to the Consultant to move forward towards the 60% Plans Set.

The Design Consultant, Halff, has completed their design survey. The completion of the survey will allow the Consultant to begin the design of the construction plan set.

Halff Associates, Inc. have started the design plans. The anticipated completion of the project plans and specifications is September 2023.

The Engineering/Capital Improvement Project Department have completed their review of the "request for qualifications" process from a list of prequalified engineering firms. The selected engineering firm has been approached by City staff to submit their proposal for the completion of the design.

During the Tuesday, August 10 Work Session, City staff presented City Council with an overview of the traffic study that was conducted, additional analysis, and requested feedback from the Council on the final scope of the project. Under the Westgate Improvement Project Resources section, click the August 12 Westgate Resident Scope Update to review the direction received, next steps, preliminary schematic for the project, and how to stay informed throughout the process.

Based on feedback received at the June 8 City Council Work Session Presentation on the scope of the Westgate Reconstruction Project, staff entered into a professional services agreement with Kimley-Horn and Associates to conduct a traffic study focusing on the general geography of the north/south extents of Westgate Drive including Westgate Drive, Windsor Drive, N. Bonnie Brae Street, and Bronco Way and the east/west portion of Westgate. Once completed, the traffic study will include baseline volumes and volume projections based on future development in the area. Results of this study along with more specific information on options for the proposed scope of the Westgate Reconstruction Project is currently planned to be presented at the August 10 City Council Work Session.

Prior to the August 10 City Council Work Session, staff will provide a resident mailer regarding the status of the project (using the same geographical boundaries we used to invite residents to participate in the May 20 Virtual Community Meeting), continue to provide status updates on this project page, and email residents who registered for the May 20 Virtual Community Meeting regarding project status. Following final direction from the City Council on the scope of the Westgate Reconstruction Project, staff will host an additional community meeting to solicit feedback once the project is at 30% design.
