Design work is expected to be completed this fall for the first section of a hike-and-bike trail along Vince Bayou that would eventually connect Pasadena’s north and south sides, and if all goes well, that first leg of the path will open in a couple of years.

The United States Department of Transportation has awarded TxDOT a $25 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant to continue the expansion and development of transportation networks across the state that support economic development and tourism.

BERT, the Bicycle Emergency Response Team, works in the West 7th Street entertainment district where MedStar says it can be difficult to route ambulances

MedStar BERT officers, in red, and Fort Worth Police officers, in blue.

MedStar says their bicycle response team working in the West 7th Street entertainment district has treated nearly 500 people since being deployed in September 2018.

The Fort Worth Police Department and MedStar have been partnering for four years to provide medical treatment to people visiting the district on Friday and Saturday nights.

MedStar said the number of people visiting the area on weekends makes it difficult for first responders and emergency medical resources to answer medical calls with ambulances, so they deployed BERT — the Bicycle Emergency Response Team — to respond to 911 calls or police officers from 10 p.m. Friday through 3 a.m. Saturday and from 10 p.m. Saturday until 3 a.m. Sunday.

Since its initiation in 2018, BERT medics have treated 466 patients, 61% of those patients being …
