The city is currently in Phase 2 of their 2050 Comprehensive Plan, designed to assign priorities (and eventually funding) as Fort Worth continues to grow. In Phase 1, the city asked residents of eight neighborhoods what the priorities should be; transportation and walkability emerged as big issues.
We asked you, too — and here’s what you said.
Your biggest concern was “general infrastructure,” with 37.1% of respondents answering that — followed closely by “losing city identity,” at 32.1%.
In terms of specific comments in the open answer field, some notable ones included:
- “Responsible growth must include housing that meets all needs.” — Debi W.
- “Use the buildings we have now, instead of building new structures.” — Liz S.
- “All 2050 decisions need to put community and livability at the forefront.” — Ginnie H.
- “General cleanliness, including debris on the freeways, has become an issue.” — Barbara W.
- “Parks, walkability, and safety must be the top three priorities.” — Carol K.
- “I am concerned we are turning into Austin.” — Howard H.
There were many comments about FTW’s “small town feel,” which mirrors the answer to the question: “Is Fort Worth getting too big?” 72% of you responded “Yes” to that.
