Citizens and visitors will be able to enjoy
recreational amenities such as; hiking, biking/equestrian
trails, new parks, lakes and an interpretive center. Environmental
benefits will include land acquisition that will preserve
about 3,500 acres in the Great Trinity Forest and wetlands
construction, which will improve floodwater conveyance
and wildlife habitats.
Transportation improvements will provide relief from traffic
congestion in the downtown area. Economic development and
neighborhood revitalization is expected to flourish in
the areas adjacent to the project.
The Trinity River Corridor Project is made
of several distinct elements. The overall efforts will
include:
- The building of levees,
wetlands, downtown lakes, gateway parks, trails,
equestrian centers, and an interpretive center.
- Transportation improvements
including Trinity Parkway and the Woodall Rodgers
Extension Bridge.
