Mid City Times

The completion of the Lancaster T&P Passage Project marks a significant development in downtown Fort Worth, as more than $1 billion in construction efforts continue to reshape the area. The project, funded by the City of Fort Worth’s Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone District 8 (TIF 8) with an investment of $1.75 million, aims to enhance access to the T&P Station commuter rail passenger platform.

The station is recognized as the most frequented TEXRail stop for travelers arriving from DFW International Airport, often serving as an unofficial entry point for visitors to Fort Worth. The project has introduced improved lighting and wayfinding signage, ensuring that travelers can navigate their surroundings safely and efficiently while also experiencing elements of Fort Worth's history.

A notable feature of the new walkway is a public art installation displaying historic photographs of influential figures associated with Fort Worth’s T&P Station. This addition not only enriches the aesthetic appeal but also connects passengers with the city’s heritage.

Downtown Fort Worth Inc. managed the project, collaborating with The Fain Group and Kimley-Horn for landscape design, engineering, and construction services. RSM contributed by assisting with directional signage.

Looking ahead, enhancements at the station will continue with plans to reopen the grand T&P Terminal lobby in early December during a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
