We are proud to be spearheading the redevelopment of this area of Fort Worth. Some call this area Near West Side. Others call it the Warehouse District. Those that live and work here still consider it the greater Cultural District.
- W. 7th Street
The W. 7th Street corridor, currently includes 7+ lane thoroughfare through an depressed industrial area. CDDI continued recent planning and development initiatives to transform this corridor into a dense, mixed use urban village. The redesign of W. 7th Street facilitates that transformation
The design for West 7th Street that came out of this cooperative effort is a corridor of dense, walkable, mixed-use urban in-fill development. Parallel parking with protective bulb-outs on each block; the installation of 10’ wide sidewalks; raised platform street crossings to provide enhanced handicapped accessibility and additional protection for pedestrian traffic; and the inclusion of outdoor eating areas adjacent to pedestrian walkways serves to calm traffic and enhance connectivity. Landscaping and on-street parking (separated and protected with bulb-outs) serve to provide separation and protection between the pedestrian traffic and street traffic. The outside lanes of the street will be designated for bicycle, bus (future street car) and automobile traffic. The center median will be landscaped to further the walkable, calming effect.
