With over 40 miles of trails stretching along the banks of the beautiful Trinity River in Fort Worth, it can be easy for a person to get caught up in the scenery. Of course, escaping reality is a major goal of many trail users, but in the unfortunate case of a trail emergency, there is nothing a person will want more than to know EXACTLY where they are and how to get help to the scene quickly.

That is why the Tarrant Regional Water District is installing new signage every 1,000 feet along the trails that tells users exactly what location to tell the police when seeking assistance. The need for this type of signage was expressed by user groups and neighborhoods during the TRV Master Plan meetings and is included in the TRV Neighborhood and Recreation Enhancement Plan.
