City Hall exchange — creek

A 38-year resident and civil engineer supported the deal but warned the 1.61-acre creek corridor is too narrow and that Sonoma Water staff weren't consulted on the culvert constraint.

Supported the deal but urged coordination with Sonoma Water on the downtown culvert, which modeling shows could cause major flooding.

Supported the project conceptually but doubted the narrow 1.61 acres allows meaningful creek daylighting; asked that the creek become a centerpiece.

Urged the strongest possible language in the development agreement to mandate creek daylighting, citing Bend, Oregon as a model.

Chop's Teen Club director urged making creek daylighting a binding condition with creekside design standards and a public design process.

Supported the agreement but called the culvert a liability far beyond $100 million given climate-driven flooding, urging it be addressed.
