the university redesign
The University Redesign
More than just an arterial roadway for our residents, University Drive is a global gateway to our community, but it does not visually and functionally represent who we are. Community Design Fort Worth did not want to just design a new corridor, but to elevate the discussion of how the public’s vision and thoughtful design can improve the corridor in a way that better reflects our community through aesthetic and safety improvements.
By opening up an exchange of ideas about the future of the corridor, CDFW hoped to see a future University Drive that reinforces the values of our community, recognizes the changing needs of urban residents, and creates a memorable experience for the millions of people who visit Fort Worth each year.
