SANDBAGS...PUMPS ARE IMPRACTICAL TOWN ENGINEER SAYS...

Yesterday, the Town Engineer (Mike Lepre) met with the Town Board. I asked Mike what he thought about a citizen suggestion--that the town make available pumps and sandbags to merchants in the event of a future storm.
Mike said that the suggestion is impractical and would not have helped merchants re: Flood damage.
THE TOWN BD IS REVIEWING ABOUT HALF A DOZEN PROPOSALS FROM CONSULTANTS RE: a flood study we will be commissioning. We want to come up with a plan of action for the avenue. What were the causes of the flood? What can be done--long term/short term?
