Date Created: Dec. 16, 2003 by City Council; expanded Dec. 15, 2009
End of Term: Dec. 31, 2044
Total Acreage: 1,380 (TIF 9A); 2,600 (TIF 9B)

Property Description: Generally bounded to the north by Northeast 23rd Street and to the south by West Lancaster Avenue. View the boundary map.

Projects: The primary goal for the central city project is flood control, while secondary goals include continuity of trails, enhanced open space and recreational areas, linkages to nearby neighborhoods, conservation and environmental restoration for improved water quality and wildlife habitat. The bypass channel will generally follow the current path of the Fort Worth & Western Railroad, and when combined with the historic Oakwood Cemetery will provide greenspace that transitions between the proposed urban developments and the historic near northside neighborhoods. In addition to the flood improvement infrastructure constructed in the near northside area, the central city project also calls for improvements within the existing Trinity River corridor to manage flood waters and provide a better use of the flood plain for the public. The project will address the efficiency of the new bypass channel with excavation, fill, and ecosystem restoration enhancements that will provide hydraulic valley storage for the project. These multi-purpose sites will also provide recreation and transportation improvements.
