I got a letter from them, they want to know my comments for the cities plan and the river bank stabilization project.  There is a state highway between my house and the river. The city maintains the grass near the river. (not I)

As a city resident the water authority charges a fee for the flood wall.   The water bill and flood wall portion is cheap- it is the darn sewer that is expensive.

I guess I want to know- why would my comments be asked for???    Would it change anything?   They sent like a 17 page packet.   I am suspicious that said project will cost the city way more then it thinks. Hence MY bills will increase.
The river bank HAS to be stabilized.  But some of the aspects of the project are "nice" but not needed and likely to be boon dongles.

My opinion of the Core is positive.  They cleaned up the Cal-Sag Canal in Chicago... and the feat was impressive.

So as a homeowner- what do I do with this- if anything...?
