Project Overview Level of Service (LOS) at Intersections • LOS A through F where: - LOS A represents free flowing traffic - LOS F represents traffic conditions with heavy delays. FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 7

Public Involvement  Goals Goals – Provide public involvement opportunities for stakeholders, roadway users, and the general community to engage with the project team and share feedback – Provide information for those interested in the project process and timeline through the webpage (www.txdot.gov). • Keyword search “FM156” FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 8

Public Involvement  Pr Process ocess – Stakeholder Meetings (City and County) – Technical Work Group Meetings (working session for public agencies) – Public Meetings – Public Hearing – Traffic Noise Workshop after Environmental Approval (if noise abatement is warranted and deemed reasonable and feasible) FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 9

Proposed Improvements / Considerations  Proposed six-lane urban section with raised curb center median south of Avondale-Haslet Road and bicycle / pedestrian accommodations.  Proposed four-lane urban section with raised curb center median north of Avondale-Haslet Road and bicycle / pedestrian accommodations.  Bicycle and pedestrian improvements will include: – 14 ft outside lane for shared use between vehicles and bicyclists on both sides – 5 ft sidewalk behind the curb on both sides FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 10

Proposed Improvements / Considerations Evaluate three alternatives:  ALTERNATIVE 1 - Widen to both sides. Obtain Right-Of-Way (ROW) from east and west sides of the current roadway. – 120 ft existing ROW (typical) – 170 ft proposed ROW (typical) – Approximately 30.1 acres of additional ROW FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 11

Proposed Improvements / Considerations Evaluate three alternatives:  ALTERNATIVE 2 - Widen to the east. Obtain ROW primarily from east side of the current roadway. – 120 ft existing ROW (typical) – 160 ft proposed ROW (typical) – Approximately 24.7 acres of additional ROW FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 12

Proposed Improvements / Considerations Evaluate three alternatives:  ALTERNATIVE 3 - Widen to the west. Obtain ROW primarily from west side of the current roadway. – 120 ft existing ROW (typical) – 180 ft existing ROW (typical) – Approximately 30.4 acres of additional ROW FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 13

Proposed Improvements / Considerations  Replace bridge at Johnson Creek and widen other existing bridges or add twin adjacent to existing bridge – Reduces cost of proposed bridges by utilizing the existing bridge.  Accommodate existing / planned transportation needs by others – Haslet Parkway – City of Haslet Schoolhouse Road & FM 156 Shared-Use Path FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 14

Proposed Improvements / Considerations  Consider elimination of grade separation at the abandoned BNSF railroad crossing – Reduces cost by eliminating a new bridge at this location – Reduces cost by reducing additional ROW needed for new bridge – Improves access to FM 156 FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 15

Proposed Improvements / Considerations  A noise analysis will be conducted and noise abatement will be evaluated for any impacts  Minimize additional ROW – Utilize existing ROW where possible – Utilize retaining walls where feasible – Widen from the existing centerline, each side, where possible FM 156 Public Meeting December 13, 2018 16
