For information The Jordan River Parkway, a plan for river beautification and flood control, was shown in a slide presentation that stressed the importance of flood control river maintenance while at the same time not making an ecological shambles of the river.

Dunn 467-941- 6 an architectual associate whose firm worked with Urban Technology Associates who completed the river study, told a joint meeting of the Model Cities Physical Environment Task Force and the Wests ide Community Council, that our society is in fact not civilized. He said that the present condition of the Jordan River, from 4800 South to the Davis its deplorable condition because we aren't civilized. Only in a few spots, County line, is in the presentation showed, is the river in a natural, respectable condition. Christensen blamed the county and the Corp of Engineers for one common situation found on the river and the community along its banks for the other plane" concept that gradually widens the banks in a terraced effect. The Parkway calls for no permanent structures to be built on the flood plane. Many structures are or have been built in the flood plane, (the area of flood overflow along the river). Terracing a modified flood plane accomplishes much more, Christensen said. Parkway plans call for planting in a controlled by nature motif, the area along the river. Picnic areas, horseriding paths, walking and bike paths are proposed. The presentation showed possible future development of industry, in a regulated manner, and housing complexs that could be situated throughout the parkway. A beautiful and flood controlled environment along the river, Christensen said, would reason the river is an ecological crisis. First, he said, the condition of the Florida Everglades, where elivate tax bases the Corp of Engineers dredged and straightened the river and Parkway cost estimates, he said, are set at about $18 million swamps upset the natural but Christensen said the existence. Fires and drought have plagued the Everglades, he said, and the draining of swamps and ''channelization of the river, like the channeling on the Jordan, is destroying the delicate balance of resources. Channelizing the river, the high and steep banks and the dredging maintenance required on the Jordan is more expensive, dangerous to children and ecologically upsetting to the maintenance of dredging, and the absence of a controlled but natural, beautiful parkway more on-goin- Marlene Marie Young, Editor and Community Information Specialist Donetta Fluker, Editorial Assistant D istribution by R eliable Courier Christensen, hazard, an eye sore and serve no useful purpose. Parkway concepts developed for flood control don't use the straight high bank channelization approach already employed on the river, but a "modified flood g river. The second type of condition noted by the study, he said, is the garbage and refuse the community has discarded along the river. These areas of refuse concentration, the presentation showed, are an extreme health and economically enhance the parkway and adjoining communities. than offsets the additional projected costs. Christensen called for unanimous support for the Parkway. He said that abandoning the river, or even maintaining it in a method that allows for environmental erosion, is not a "civilized" approach. It is a "civilized" society, he said, that would recognize the resources of the river at hand, protect it and not interfere with the natural order of things, that in some cases, referring to Florida, cannot be reversed if tampered with. |
