BACKGROUND
On August 26, 2020, City Council authorized the Development Participation Contract with the Dallas Arts District Foundation for donation of design plans and specifications for the construction of the Routh Street Gateway Sidewalk Improvement Project, by Resolution No. 20-1228. The Routh Street Gateway Sidewalk Improvement Project (AD465121) was approved as part of the 2017 Bond Program. This partnership will expand and update wayfinding, signage, public art, and enhance pedestrian connections in all directions along Routh Street Gateway. The Dallas Arts District Foundation agreed to provide all necessary engineering and design services associated with this project at their own cost and expense and donate all design documents and plans for the City to facilitate the construction.
In order to proceed with certain procurements and the construction associated with this project, it is necessary to execute a Multiple Use Agreement (MUA) with the Texas Department of Transportation. This MUA will allow the use of certain right-of-way at the Routh Street/Woodall Rodgers Intersection.
Future Operations and Maintenance costs associated with the improvements related to the civil work being done will be the responsibility of the City of Dallas.
