The Fort Worth Business Press has another article on the Trinity River Vision, the article talks about a meeting held a month ago. Makes you wonder WHY would they be covering that now?
The $909 million dollar taxpayer funded project seems to have risen in cost again. At this point, it's just another million of YOUR money. Maybe they thought sheep can't count.
Reminds us of how they thought no one would notice they were
floating with feces.
How do you clean up a river? Ask them.
The article talks about what the project promises. Do YOU believe them? Notice 7th street bridge isn't part of the project, that just means it's like the Fire and Police academy - NOT included in the price tag.
Project timelines and budget estimates remain unchanged since the Fort Worth City Council heard an update at its Aug. 23 regular meeting. The mammoth undertaking promises flood control, infrastructure upgrades, economic development opportunities and recreational development, including public access to trails and riverfront. Federal funding is $488 million, with local funding at $422 million.Reconstruction of the West Seventh Street bridge is not part of the Trinity River Vision project. But utility relocation already has begun and will continue into next year, when precast bridge elements are placed. The bridge itself will topple in July 2013 and reopen just four months later.
