The water will find its way to the Winooski. Let’s direct it under the street in secure pipes rather than on top and in our streets and buildings!

There’s lots of ideas of ways to prevent future catastrophe, but I really think we should have civil engineers or similar at the table at all parts of this conversation, so we don’t all exhaust ourselves spitballing things that actual experts know about. Where are they?
