FWSI is working with the City and private developers to maximize on-street parking and to create walkable tree-lined streets throughout the Near Southside.  S. Adams Street between Magnolia Ave. and W. Rosedale provided an opportunity for Fort Worth South to work with the City to retrofit a street in conjunction with a planned resurfacing project in order to provide parallel parking that would serve several development projects, including 24 new townhouses, the new Schaefer Advertising headquarters in the historic Dunn Haven Apartments building, and the new Young Women’s Leadership Academy.

The 60-foot right-of-way provided enough space for on-street parallel parking spaces by moving the curbs a few feet while still allowing space for a planting strip with street trees and historic lampposts as well as a five-foot sidewalk.

FWSI continues to seek similar partnership opportunities with the City that could create more complete streets throughout the district.
