\u201cThere have been many pedestrians observed crossing Camp Bowie, either to go to Western Hills High School or other areas,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cWe did a site visit to go out here and take a look at the design, and it was a little scary having to cross.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The project, located in Council District 3, aims to increase vehicle capacity and safety; reduce delays and improve the intersection\u2019s level of service, an A-F system <\/a>measuring delays at intersections; and add pedestrian crossings. Planned improvements include redesigned left-turn lanes, pedestrian access ramps, traffic signal and additional lighting.<\/p>\n Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2027 and projected to be complete by early 2028. The project, funded with 2022 bond <\/a>and Neighborhood Improvement Program funds<\/a>, has a construction contract of $900,000 and an overall project budget of $2 million, according to Tucker.<\/p>\n Camp Bowie West Boulevard and Broadmoor Drive are part of the city\u2019s Vision Zero<\/a> High-Injury Network, which identifies streets and intersections with the highest concentrations of fatal and serious-injury crashes. The city uses the data to prioritize safety improvements.\u00a0<\/p>\n The network represents 6% of Fort Worth streets<\/a> but accounts for 54% of the fatal and severe accidents. Vision Zero is a data-supported strategy based on the premise that traffic deaths and serious injuries are preventable. The city adopted the plan in Sept. 2025.<\/p>\n A 2021 Roadway Safety Assessment identified infrastructure improvements<\/a> needed to reduce risks at the Camp Bowie West Boulevard and Broadmoor Drive intersection.\u00a0<\/p>\n Camp Bowie West Boulevard at Broadmoor Drive is a six-lane divided intersection with left turn lanes serving Broadmoor Drive to the north and a driveway to the south.\u00a0<\/p>\n During the meeting, a resident asked why the city selected the intersection instead of another. Tucker cited the number of pedestrians crossing this intersection go to Western Hills High School. She also noted there are no crosswalks and pedestrians need time to cross the intersection.<\/p>\n During the meeting, Kimley-Horn engineer Acharya said the intersection has a negative offset, which can block driver\u2019s visibility of oncoming traffic. Negative offsets<\/a> can obstruct sightlines and reduce safety, according to the Federal Highway Administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Acharya, the project will offset left turn lanes from through traffic by narrowing the median and by using road goring<\/a> \u2014 elongated, triangular gore areas with chevron striping. The remaining median adjacent to the turn-lane cutouts will be stamped concrete.\u00a0<\/p>\n The sidewalks, ramps and crossings will be ADA-compliant, according to Tucker.\u00a0<\/p>\n Camp Bowie West Intersection Documenter: Patrick Banis<\/p>\n Date: June 16, 2026<\/p>\n Learn more about this project by clicking here<\/a>.
