What’s going on with the TRV? The Tarrant Regional Water District, the Trinity River Vision Authority, the City of Fort Worth and Streams and Valleys Inc., have teamed up to create a 10-year plan known as the Neighborhood and Recreational Enhancement Program (NREP), and we will be presenting the details of this plan at three public meetings.
Meeting one: 6pm, Oct. 15 @ East Regional Library Meeting two: 6pm, Oct 21 @ FW Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce Meeting three: 6pm, Nov. 5 @ Botanic Garden
I came to the Pacific Northwest a day early to tour the Fort Worth Central City - Trinity River scale hydrology model before its dismantling at the conclusion of testing later this year.
(Note from Kevin: The Fort Worth Central City Hydrology Model is a 40:1 scale model of the Trinity River after reconfiguration by the Trinity River Vision, which allows water flow testing of the bypass channel, town lake, and other aspects of the design. It is in Richmond, BC near the Vancouver Airport. Joel’s tour guide is Ken Christison of Northwest Hydraulic Consultants. The video is in two parts and hosted by Vimeo.)
Another week of posts at West & Clear’s sister site Fort Worthology, and it’s been a busy week in Fort Worth urban development. Here’s some of what’s been going on since last Thursday:
Another building falls to the Museum Place development - now they’re making way for the Aloft Hotel on Arch Adams between 7th & Camp Bowie.
So7’s Shops & Lofts are moving ahead at a good clip.
I took a look at the loft apartments in the Kress Building downtown.
Finally, I wrote a big roundup on the status of various bits of the Trinity River Vision.
I don't want to give away all our secrets, but the West and Clear team uses just about every Google product available, including a few not even on that list.
