I think flood control knowledge has advanced in the 30+ years since those channels were put in. I'm sure that's all part of the design.

Anybody else old enough to remember when Shoemaker Creek WAS natural and they put it into a concrete ditch?

Anyone know if there is a MUT running along the creek or are they just renaturalizing the creek?

The Highland-Southdale and Kehl-Borden MUTs will be restored, absolutely, and I believe the latter will extend a bit further east and connect past Meinzinger now.
I'm not sure what's planned west of Highland.

I walked by the end near Homer Watson and there is a large flat graded area that looks like it could be turned into a MUT. OSM has paths on both side of the creek leading to Homer-Watson, so hopefully they make the connection all the way to H-W and connect to the paths that run through that park.

I wish they could do this to Schneider Creek past Queen St.

Looks great! We need more of this, especially along Schneider Creek in the urban areas where it's all concrete culverts.
