Thank you so much, Jacket!  That is really interesting material.  Nice to know a couple of the bottleneck bridges will be replaced soon and that they can continue working their way upstream. 

Can you confirm that Lake Lag is part of the flood control scheme?  I thought I read that once upon a time....

Second question, I remember an argument about the Baron Creek diversion--that Baron Creek water was going to be diverted in case of a Baron Creek event over to Matadero Creek, but I thought there was a dispute and this plan was halted.  Since I live immediately on Baron creek I'd be curious to know if the problems were worked out.

It is sunny today and I biked my way down Edgewood and Woodland and Palo Alto Ave, crossing both at Newell and back at Pope/Chaucer.  All streets are open, there are still a few homeowner sandbags in sight and a sump pump or two, but it was surreal to see the stream so far back down after less than 24 hours. 

The debris that over topped the bridge at Chaucer was interesting.  In addition to a tangle of branches, I counted one basketball, one volleyball, and about a dozen tennis balls.  The creek finally agreed to give them all back!
