Trinity River Vision Collaboration
This collaboration teaches by example, offering tangible lessons to the city’s future environmental leaders. The Tarrant Regional Water District, in association with Streams and Valleys, Inc., the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the City of Fort Worth, has undertaken a comprehensive Master Plan of the Trinity River and major tributaries, known as the Trinity River Vision. Approximately 88 miles of river are included in this planning process. Fort Worth is fortunate that the river and its major tributaries traverse through all quadrants of the city, including the historic confluence area that defines downtown.  

Celebrating the Trinity River is one of five themes of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. The vision of the Trinity River Vision Master Plan is to preserve and enhance the river corridors so that they remain as essential greenways for open space, trails, neighborhood focal points, wildlife, and special recreation areas. These riparian corridors are critical elements in preserving environmental quality and a high quality of life that attracts people to locate and stay in Fort Worth. Downtown waterfront initiatives will help accomplish a renaissance of the greater downtown area that result in a sustainable mix of people living, working, playing, and learning in the central city area.
