Reinstate Hemphill Street to Four Lanes

The Issue

Hemphill Street was once a four-lane road accommodating large volumes of traffic smoothly and efficiently. Road diets like this are often implemented with the intent to improve safety for all users. However, the change has not only caused increased traffic congestion but it also significantly raised travel times.

This petition calls for a reevaluation of the current traffic situation on Hemphill Street. We are urging the City to review the traffic conditions and take into account the feedback from the locals. If the data supports it, we request that Hemphill Street be returned to its original setup of four lanes.

Let's ensure that the decisions made include community input and genuinely improve resident's lives and road safety. Sign the petition today to advocate for a  study of the reinstatement of Hemphill Street to four lanes from two.

For those who wish to keep Hemphill Street to two lanes, please email district11@fortworthtexas.gov.
