re: Remember the Darlington Reservoir?

I’m 100000% in favor

Somewhat, but not entirely.

Meanwhile development is out of fricking control in BR. Developers are getting permits from the government is like taking candy from a baby. It’s either gross incompetence or money is exchanging hands under the table. Democrats are such ecologist yet they have let overdevelopment ruin both sides of Burbank.

The soccer fields and maybe two or three nice neighborhoods should be all that is back there. Instead every single bit of land is being used to throw up apartments, cheap houses, and shitty strip malls. The entire area will resemble North Airline Hwy in the next 20 years. The difference is that Burbank will flood worse than before. That one creek that flows along Highland has already proved to not hold enough water during peak flood periods already.

Oddly enough very little of the area along Burbank flooded in 2016. Perhaps next time they won’t be so lucky, who really knows. Each flood seems to be different.

The corner of Highland & Burbank have flooded more than once

Yes that corner floods there at the bayou.

The soccer fields have several times been rendered unusable

The parking lot and areas surrounding the fields floods as does the adjoining wooded areas south and east of the complex. That’s all bottom lands

But the only homes or businesses that may have flooded are just west of Gardere and along Staring
