When the Trinity River spilled out of its banks so dramatically 20 years ago this spring, it sent a vivid reminder that the only things standing between Dallas and a catastrophic flood were two aging earthen levees known even then to be steadily losing their effectiveness.
Those levees have only gotten weaker as the City Council repeatedly opted to link flood protection with a grander, more complex vision – one that included a toll road that remains uniquely difficult to engineer and in need of $1 billion in additional funding.
