On March 9, 2011, the Trinity Commons Foundation held their tenth annual “It’s My Trinity!” luncheon, celebrating the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. The new bridge designed by Santiago Calatrava can be seen towering over Dallas and is scheduled to open October 14, 2011.
David McAtee II, President of the Foundation, welcomed everyone and gave a brief description of the overall vision of the Trinity River Project, which includes features such as the Trinity River Audubon Center, the Standing Wave, and the Trinity Trail. Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts Chorus performed “God Bless America.” Dallas Mayor Caraway then gave a lively status update of the Trinity Project. Several amenities including the new Pavaho Pump Station are currently under construction, meeting almost all the necessary floodway improvements for the Trinity. Then WFAA Sports Anchor Dale Hansen spoke on the importance of community involvement and leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come. The fun-filled luncheon was heavily attended by representatives from the offices of several Texas legislators, AIA Dallas and affluent members of the Dallas community.
