What is the status of the Elm Fork project initiatives that are part of the overall Trinity River Corridor Project?
The Elm Fork Floodplain Management Study was initiated in June 2000 and was approved by City Council in November 2003 for an area along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River between Royal Lane and SH-183, and from the Elm Fork to roughly IH-35 to the east. Within this area, Richards Branch, Wesco Creek, and Daniels Creek watersheds were studied. The engineering firm of Freese and Nichols, Incorporated, is expected to produce a final report during Spring 2004. The floodplain management study recommends about $16 million for flood control initiatives and $13 million for recreation and open space initiatives for the Elm Fork corridor. Design is expected to begin during 2004 for flood control initiatives, while property survey and acquisition process is underway for phase I of a major soccer complex.
