LASER IMAGE & The Trinity Strand Project


When voters approved bonds issues for the Trinity Strand project in 2003 and 2006, the City of Dallas immediately began constructing plans to re-build with the goal of infusing the industrial areas of the city with new life and more energy. 

One of the ways the City of Dallas and its supporters have decided to rejuvenate the area is by building a two-mile hike-and-bike trail along the old Trinity River channel.  This multi-million dollar project is only the first step to be taken toward an effort to restore and revitalize the Dallas Trinity Channel area. 

“The city hopes to begin soliciting bids for a two-mile concrete section for the Trinity Trail later this summer,” stated Michael Hellman, park planning manager for Dallas Park and Recreation Department in the July Issue of the Dallas Business Journal.

Laser Image has agreed to deed the back-end of its property for the arrival of the new trail. “When I was approached with the plans I immediately wanted to jump on board,” said Laser Image CEO and President Barbara Morris. “It's not only a great opportunity to bring up the neighborhood, it's a chance to be an active part of this city’s history.”

The construction of the first phase of the Trinity Strand project is estimated to take up to a year.  But the city and its supporters of the Trinity Strand Trail hope to extend the trail up to 7.8 miles, allowing it to run along the old river channel and up into the Dallas Market Center.
