Trinity River Action Coalition: Planning to Oppose Tollroad Inside Dallas Levee System - Dallas

The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the actions we can take to oppose building a tollroad inside the Dallas levee system.   

We will review the following:

• our meeting schedule and location for the next 4 months;

• our position and comments on the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Trinity Toll Road; and

• a membership form for those interested in joining our coalition.

 The Trinity River Action Coalition (TRAC) is 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was formed in 1991 by a coalition of civic and environmental groups and individuals that joined together to benefit the human and natural habitats along the Trinity River corridor and its tributaries.
