Response <br />Comment <br />less started. We all know the problems caused by The Woods Apartments. This became a City responsibility once they were allowed to build, because the neighborhood voice wasnot heard <br /> and exactly what we said would happen, did. Now someone has to be responsible for making it right especially since the money is there to do it with.

There are a lot of residents in the neighborhood that have lived <br /> there myself have a disabled husband, and work a full time October flood was compared to the 1998 flood, but I was at the home in 1998 with my parents, and the CFS rating of the water <br /> might have been the same, but the amount of water that remained in the neighborhood and the length of time it took it to go down, was absolutely NOT the same. If you look at River Road <br /> at Smith Lane end you can see the angle in which the road was reconstructed for 1998 the water came up, then as the river receded, the flow went back down into the river. In 2015 the <br /> flooding flow had nowhere to go. The angle of River Road did not allow the water to take the natural flow back into the river, therefore it took longer to <br />Element <br />Source <br />Date <br /># <br /> <br />
