2007 Elections: Trinity River Toll Road Will Proceed

Via the Dallas Morning News:

With all but a handful of Dallas precincts counted late Tuesday, a ballot measure to kill the high-speed highway inside the Trinity River levees was losing by a 53-47 margin.

The vote means the city’s Trinity River project, an ambitious plan to transform the barren river corridor, will proceed as planned. In addition to the higwhway, the project includes increased flood protection, a downtown park and other recreational amenities.

Proposition 1 would have forbidden construction of any road inside the river levees unless that road were four or fewer lanes, had a speed limit of 35 mph or less, and provided direct access to the riverside park.

That was probably the biggest issue on the Metroplex ballot.
