Update 11/16/2009 – Upon further discussion with sources close to the project, we have chosen to edit this post. The city has chosen a preferred engineering firm, but there are still things to be done to make it “official”-official. Given the nature of things like contracts, etc. we have decided that we should make this clear, and have removed the previous specifics from the story until the parties involved are ready to go public.
Responsible and thoughtful comments are welcome. Be aware, though, that this site exists in part as an advocacy site for New Urbanism and its potential to remake Fort Worth into an even more livable city than it is today. Thoughtful dissent is generally welcome insofar as it fosters thoughtful replies. Inflammatory dissent, whether intentional or not, will be deleted. Commenters whose comments we routinely delete will be banned. Nothing personal, but this is a privately owned and operated web site, and we are aiming for a specific tone and audience. Work within those guidelines and all will be well.
