They have to do a much better job of rebuilding as well as stormwater control or they're just wasting our money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14958949.post-70025702769955584162009-07-29T14:57:13.131-04:002009-07-29T14:57:13.131-04:00Given the amount of water that flows during storms...Given the amount of water that flows during storms and the addition of woody debris carried by the flood waters, I don't think there is anything reasonable the city can do to solve the bridge problems on this very popular footpath. The best way to solve the problem is to prevent the storm water inputs into the creek. Until that happens I suppose we'll just have to learn to live with it.Donwatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196127953849417904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14958949.post-23650741186014295452009-07-29T13:45:02.763-04:002009-07-29T13:45:02.763-04:00Was this one of the bridges the City rebuilt after...Was this one of the bridges the City rebuilt after the last flood? If so they clearly need to rethink their designs as these kinds of flash-floods are not going to stop any time soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14958949.post-16087282936725248152009-07-29T07:21:09.683-04:002009-07-29T07:21:09.683-04:00I saw that too but that temporary bridge is only m...I saw that too but that temporary bridge is only made up of sand and gravel. Any over topping of water from the creek would wash it away. The Wilket Creek flood was similar but was powerful enough to move the armour stone. Now that's impressive!Donwatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196127953849417904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14958949.post-75919036885433075842009-07-28T22:38:46.247-04:002009-07-28T22:38:46.247-04:00The temporary crossing at the Forks also washed ou...The temporary crossing at the Forks also washed out completely this weekend. The last time it did that was the first weekend in May during a big storm. We watched it happen.steve snoreply@blogger.com
