We attended the ULI sponsored event regarding the Trinity River Project in Dallas.
The Trinity River Project:
- includes app 10k acres, 26 miles
- will be the largest park system in the US upon completion.
- attempts to address concerns and stigma...sell the vision.
- the 1908 flood was the point of disconnect with the river.
- attempts to maintain eco-balance

According to the project website, the Dallas Floodway Extension will provide environmental restoration and recreation to the Trinity River Corridor. This project will reduce the flooding risk for about 12,500 structures in downtown Dallas and the densely populated areas along the southern corridor.
Wetlands construction will also improve floodwater conveyance and benefit wildlife. When completed, seven wetland cells will make up the 170-acre Chain of Wetlands extending four miles from Cedar Creek to Loop 12. Various plant species will be introduced to provide habitat for waterfowl, fish and other wildlife.
Some of the projects aspects include:
The I-30 Bridge:
