Just because the river looked a certain way in 1960, doesn't mean removing the causeway will make it return to exactly that... channels move and rivers carve and recarve themselves. Nothing to say it wouldn't naturally reroute itself into a place it wasn't before it was dammed up.

Hence the need for riprap and stones...

It’s never going to look the way it did in 1960 anyway, because the old dump, the ball fields and part of Assumption Blvd are on built on the former riverbank. It will at least restore some resemblance of what it look liked though.
