This would allow a substantial surface stream. A plan prepared for the SRA in 2012 by a fisheries biologist demonstrated how a surface stream could be created to provide fish passage, while a revitalized underground pipe would continue to carry most of the stormwater below grade. Neither option interferes with the preservation or interpretation of historic features on the site."

I don't think anyone is suggesting that we have daylighting and no stormwater backup. We can have our cake and eat it too! |
All it takes is our money!
If the EAC is for it, I'm against it.
