<br />Concerns <br /> <br />Discussion of Residential <br /> <br />-Safety of alternate township route if bridge <br /> <br />-The perceived road safety issue at the 2 large culverts could be improved by removing two of the large culverts <br />installed by Reed Township and the road widened at that location. The recently completed Hydraulic Study reveals <br />that this could be done with less than I inch of water stage increase during a 100 year flood. Total cost of this would <br />be in the range of$5,000. If the bridge were removed to increase the river channel width, the slight increase from <br />removing the culverts would be more than offset. <br /> <br />is eliminated <br /> <br />-Access to residences duringjlood if bridge <br /> <br />-The road was raised by Reed Township to a level that would only flood during very severe floods. A short stretch of <br />the road would be under water during a 100 year event. This short stretch could be raised more to allow access during <br />severe flooding. The recently completed hydraulic report indicates that this would have a very slight impact on the <br />water stage. Cost of this would be in the range of$I,OOO to $3,000. <br /> <br />is eliminated <br /> <br />of previous township road raising on jlood stages <br /> <br />-The hydraulic report indicates that the work previously done by the township resulted in a water stage increase during <br />a 100 year flood to be 1.6 inches higher than before the 1995/96 work. Most of this could be offset by removing the <br />bridge to widen the river channel at the bridge <br /> <br />-Impact <br /> <br />roads without the bridge <br /> <br />-Additional travel distance on gravel road <br /> <br />an extra mile on gravel <br /> <br />have to travel <br /> <br />will <br /> <br />-The residents <br />
