The Basis of Our Meeting

The 2-slide show above is the basic proposition that many of the residents supported at our meeting: Move the levee back so there is more room for the water in places other than Riverland Park. Everyone knows that Riverland Park floods; we can't fix that no matter what we do; but we are wiling to do something to help and that seemed to resonate. Thank you to those supporters.

Riverland Park Meeting

Thank you for coming to the community meeting tonight. It was a good turnout and we hope we can build on that. Please call, write, or post questions here. If you post here, please let us know who you are; we will remove that from the post when it is published, but it will let us respond better.

It seems like we established some facts at the meeting that we can use to help plan the future: 1) the levees are big and they are here to stay; 2) if we do nothing else with the levees, the present flooding situation stays the same; and 3) there are some options to make conditions better in Riverland Park.

We hope we can work together quickly to make plans for our shared future. We will be neighbors for a very long time. Thank you again for coming.
