- The Fort Worth Stockyards bring in visitors from all around the world and has most recently become a movie and film hotspot. So now, the City of Fort Worth is looking to do a mobility study in the Stockyards to help alleviate that problem.
According to the city manager, the Stockyards is experiencing substantial growth over the past few years with an increase in visitors with new shops and the impacts of COVID-19 diminishing. The Fort Worth Public Works Department is starting a mobility study focusing on the roads in and around the district. It will look at ways to improve vehicle circulation--on-street parking—ADA accessibility and pedestrian safety."Traffic here has always been a nightmare since I was born, getting down here on a regular basis is tough," said Blake Jenkins, employee at Chief Records in the Stockyards.
"It's just gotten a little bit crazier trying to drive in this area," said Fort Worth resident Kaitlyn Rainwater. "I think they should leave it the way it is, let it rest, let it be what it is, it's the way it has been for years it's kind of a disgrace to the cowboy," said Christie Bryan, who is visiting from near Abilene.
