Floodplain Management

Trinity River COMMON VISION Program

Local governments along the Trinity River launched a regional initiative that has stimulated excitement and galvanized support for a new Trinity River COMMON VISION. It is composed of these elements:

• a SAFE Trinity River, with stabilization and reduction of flooding risks,
• a CLEAN Trinity River, with fishable and swimmable waters,
• an ENJOYABLE Trinity River, with recreational opportunities linked by a trails system within a world-class greenway,
• a NATURAL Trinity River, with preservation and restoration of riparian and cultural resources,
• a DIVERSE Trinity River, with local and regional economic, transportation and other public needs addressed.
