The Trinity River is the true centerpiece of the Fort Worth community and an amazing amenity for Fort Worth and North Texas. Through CONFLUENCE: The Trinity River Strategic Master Plan, it’s going to get even better.
The multi-faceted strategic plan is the result of many months of hard work, planning, meetings with The River Partners, and feedback from citizens and public officials.
Through this new strategic master plan, we have envisioned the future of the river and translated that vision into specific goals, objectives, and projects. The plan recommends strategies to enhance the Trinity River and its tributaries over the next 10 years and beyond.
CONFLUENCE: The Trinity River Strategic Master Plan
The Trinity River Strategic Master Plan builds on past planning efforts to continue the evolution in the riversystem. It centers on sustaining a healthy and thriving river that connects citizens and communities, catalyzes economic development, and offers an abundance of active transportation and recreational amenities for the region.
Streams& Valleys led the development, coordination, and fundraising for CONFLUENCE. The consultant for the project was Berkeley-based MIG.
