Tarrant County is proposing a new Transportation Bond Program for voter consideration in November 2021. The last Tarrant County Bond Program was approved by the voters in 2006. In the 2006 Bond Program, Mansfield received funding for 6 transportation projects. This program, as with the past program, requires a 50% local fund match. The program goals are to: increase mobility, reduce congestion, enhance safety and improve connectivity. Priority will be given to “shovel ready” projects. The attached list of proposed projects and map was discussed with the Transportation Subcommittee on March 10 and with the full Council on March 22. Tarrant County has requested that a Resolution be passed to show Council’s support for the proposed projects.
Justification
