Take out the levees. The River will repair the damage itself.
That is just one issue out of many. Sea level rise, industry channeling, and upstreams dams make this a problem that is not easy to fix. I'd love to be optimistic about it, but I'm not.

Diversions may help with the stagnant waters but doesn't have enough sediment flow to really start rebuilding. The only place I know of that land is constantly building is the Wax Lake Delta. Its big enough through Calumet to actually have a constant flow of water.
The diversions being planned are designed to capture sediment. Davis Pond and Caernarvon weren't designed for that, yet there is still some sediment deposition in the outfall.
