Because of course anything natural is faulty, and must be replaced with an engineered structure instead. The more logical approach would have been to leave the vegetation that had sprouted up in the levy and allow it to bind the soil as vegetation has done for a VERY long time on this planet. Remove vegetation and you destabilize soil. It's a pretty simple formula.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-39913585939978049632013-01-19T18:06:40.962-06:002013-01-19T18:06:40.962-06:00That are is now fenced off.

The work was supposed to be complete in July 2012, but it seems work continues, especially at the area by the MetroCenter lake where it connects to the river. The 'closed' signs have been removed, though they never really deterred people from using the greenway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-18803601294028494872013-01-17T17:24:20.909-06:002013-01-17T17:24:20.909-06:00Im glad the greenway finally reopened.
