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.
