DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize an agreement with
Streams & Valleys, Inc. to contribute funds for construction of Tilley Plaza in Trinity Park as a 1:1
match with City contributions from Future Community Partnerships funding, and to authorize a
contract with C. Green Scaping, LP in the amount of $906,528.80. Tilley Plaza will be located at the
west end of the Phyllis J. Tilley Memorial Bridge in Trinity Park.
Streams & Valleys, Inc. (S&V) was formed in 1971 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the
beautification of the river and the development of the river system as a recreational amenity. Early
efforts included working with the Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) to construct low-water dams
that created more aesthetically pleasing water levels, and collaborating with the Park & Recreation
Department (PARD) to build trails along the riverbanks. In 1971, fewer than three miles of trail existed
along the river. By 2003, there were 30 miles of trails, and today, more than 72 miles of trails are in
place.

Representatives from TRWD, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, City of Fort Worth Water Department,
and (PARD) have reviewed the construction activities associated with the proposed park
enhancements. All parties agree that the planned improvements will not interfere with existing
infrastructure or create any obstruction issues related to the Trinity River.
Construction of Tilley Plaza is scheduled to begin in November 2025 and will last for approximately
six months.
PARD proposes that the City provide community partnership funds as a 1:1 match to the contributions
from S&V. These combined funds will support all approved park improvements within an
approximately one -acre area directly adjacent to the PJT Memorial Bridge on the west bank of the
Trinity River in Trinity Park. Funding for the Tilley Plaza park improvements will be as follows:
Fund Name
General Capital Projects Fund (Future
Community Partnership)
Special Donations Capital Project Fund
(S&V)
Total Funding
Authority Amount
r
This M&C $750,000.00
This M&C F $750,000.00
$1,500,000.00
The park improvements at Tilley Plaza are estimated to increase PARD's annual maintenance costs
by $6,000.00 beginning in Fiscal Year 2026. In addition, S&V will be required to enter into a
Maintenance Agreement with PARD for the funding and management of enhanced landscape
maintenance for the life of the improvement.
Funding for this project was not included in the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) due to
verification of partnership funds after the CIP submission deadlines. The action in this M&C will
amend the FY2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan as approved in connection with Ordinance
27107-09-2024.
Funding is budgeted in the Future Community Partnership Program for this project.
Trinity Park is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9.
