Why are you concerned about the Red Oak Park? It is a lot better looking than the creek through Aspen Ridge since the developers came.
You are correct, but I have a few friends who live there and want to enjoy that park. Even if the point of what I say about it doesn't save it, the park will serve as a poster-child to help the city to put pressure on developers to do the job right to start with.
Keeping the water where it falls and encouraging it to soak in is my point. I recognized the value of that kind of effort decades ago, but I didn't invent the concept. And thousands of consultants are being paid big bucks to explain all over the United States these days.
The noun phrase "Drainage problem" has been taken to mean "We need to get the water off the land faster."
To today's low-impact farmers and to many hunters, fishermean and conservationists the "noun phrase "Drainage problem" for decades has meant "Some idiot is removing the vegetation from a wetland area or the riparian zone of a stream."
Those high-paid low-impact-development gurus are just chanting a mantra that Ducks Unlimited, Sierra Club, the National Wildife Federation, the Audubon Society and many other groups tried to teach years before "green" and "sustainability" were not cool words for politicians and entreprenuers. The "green, sustainability" proponents, however, are grateful for finally have gotten their knowledge into so many places.
