I am starting to really think we need to consider spending the money required to raise the riverwalk. The past few years have shown much more volatile environmental conditions that keep the riverwalk closed. Our rivers could be so much more and I feel we are wasting opportunities to turn them into something even more special than they currently are. The Legislature to Waterfront Drive should always be open.
