Putting our rivers into concrete channels only sped up the flow, added to flooding and ruined the fisheries - - so other than that, what a great idea, right?
Wrong?
Helping to restore the KK River's natural setting, like the revival of the Milwaukee River after the North Ave. dam was pulled out, will be a boon to surrounding neighborhoods, the city and and the entire watershed.
All in all it's perfect use of public funds and a model of cooperation among the public, private and non-profit sectors.
Hoo-rah.
What were we thinking when we thought our designs were superior to Mother Nature?
