The Trinity River Corridor Project is a public works project ignited by public support through a 1998 bond proposal and subsequent referenda.
The project is designed to:
- redevelop the Trinity River as it passes through Dallas,
- provide flood protection for neighborhoods along the Trinity,
- improve transportation through Dallas' urban core,
- spur economic development, and
- provide a place of relaxation and recreation for central city residents who currently have limited outdoor opportunities.
The project will turn the river's path into a collection of sports fields, trails, nature centers, recreational amenities, and signature bridges designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
At 10,000 acres — including the Great Trinity Forest — the Trinity River Corridor Project will produce the largest urban park in the United States.
Stretching from the Trinity River's West Fork near Loop 12 to the I-30 bridge near downtown Dallas, West Dallas is positioned to benefit greatly from the Trinity River Corridor Project. More than five miles of "shoreline" — and easy access to the park's amenities — signal opportunities for business and economic development. |
