From a press release by the City:

The City of Fort Worth’s Streetcar Task Force met Monday with consultant HDR Engineering Inc. to review the consulting team’s scope of services for Phase 1 and 2 of the planning project.

The task force reviewed the framework for the route options, economic analysis and evaluation criteria. HDR expressed to the task force the need to design routes with the least amount of track that will bring the most economic development potential.

HDR’s next steps are to present a comprehensive picture of the economic impact and enhanced transportation options a streetcar system could have on Fort Worth. These steps will help determine the feasibility of streetcars in Fort Worth.

A series of public meetings will be held to gather public input before HDR presents its final report to the City Council. The first public meeting will be Aug. 9 at the Intermodal Transportation Center, 1001 Jones St.
