Flooding mitigation

The Classic Gold Realty owner says his office flooded a third time this year — the worst yet — and questions whether the city has the manpower to clear choke points, urging ODOT to fix the 150-foot hill slip on state property behind the car wash.

A local architect who owns the old Morrison School says Sunday night's flood was the worst he's seen in 45 years — water in 80% of his first floor — and supports underground detention storage like projects he's built in the Midwest.

Classic Gold Real Estate reports lost rental families, a displaced resident, and a neighboring auction house that just moved out after the worst flood of all.
