[edit] General Description
The City of Fort Worth, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, the U.S. General Services Administration, and Downtown Fort Worth, Inc. are working together to reestablish Hyde Park Transit Plaza as Downtown Fort Worth’s civic square. This transit-oriented public space was originally conceptualized in 1999 by consultants looking at the Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) at Ninth and Jones Streets. This square would integrate several disparate spaces surrounding the intersection of Ninth and Throckmorton, including Lanham Plaza, the remaining section of Hyde Park, the former public library site, John Peter Smith Park, City Hall Plaza, and a vacated section of Tenth Street. An architectural and engineering team led by Turner Collie & Braden, Inc. is working on design Hyde Park Transit Plaza and Ninth Street improvements.
