001814 F. South and West (right) side, State Avenue to Cole Park The levee in this reach should be raised and widened to a uniform cross section with riprap armouring. Due to the large number of private ownerships in this reach, agreements should be obtained to provide access to the levee system for maintenance and flood fighting. Access control is also needed and should be designed to be compatible with the private ownership needs. Remova 1 of the sandbar at the bend in the river upstream of Col e Park will assist with increasing the capacity of the river through the reach. Seepage concerns should also be addressed to determine the need for special seepage control facilities. G. North (left) side, North Tieback Levee (Riverwood Drive extended) to State Avenue Th is reach of the ri ver i ncl udes the golf course area and low lying areas northwest of the golf course. The existing levee should be raised upstream of the golf course to provide required freeboard. Also, riprap protection should be placed at selected locations along the levee where the river meanders impinge on the levee, as during the June, 1985, flood. Vegetation and sandbar removal in this reach would improve flow characteristics of the river and reduce the need for additional raising of the levee system. I Seepage control also needs to be evaluated and addressed during final design. H. South (right) side, Bell Avenue to State Avenue , l Consideration should be given for seepage control through and under the levee system in this area. This is discussed later in this section. No other improvements are needed. The levee in this area should be widened to a uniform cross section and access control should be provided through private properties. Seepage is not anticipated to be a problem, however further evaluations should be made. , ~ I. West and South (right) Side, North of LeRoy Street to Bell Avenue -22-
