How is Arcadia Creek controlled? Is it just that the banks are so high, or is it seperated from the Kalamazoo River in some other way?
Lansing got pummeled, too. Fortunately, the major commerical areas of the city sit above the floodplain, but there are certainly parts of these areas still in it. Another half a foot or so and we'd have had extensive damage downtown. From the MSP.
Downtown
Old Town
REO Town
The worst is always on the eastside, though.
Michigan State University
Still tons of damage, and a lot of evacuations on the eastside.
Anyway, really excited to hear about the development across from Arcadia Creek Festival Place. It sounds like it's really going to interact with the street, well.
