What is wrong with the city of Shoreline surface water management folks?
As I recall, several years ago, the Ronald Bog pond overflowed and inundated the neighborhood to the south. As I recall, the city came in and “fixed” the problem. Now we’ve had another hard storm, the Ronald Bog pond overflowed again, and that same neighborhood is water damaged. What happened to the fix?
Once homeowners drain their houses and property and start over, can the city REALLY make the needed improvements to prevent this from happening again? Since the city can’t ensure that we won’t have another “one-hundred-year storm,” they should pay every homeowner fair market value for their homes and vacate the neighborhood. No one should suffer a flood more than once and the city has a bad record of knowing how to “fix” major drainage problems.
