Yeah you need to run an environmental impact study and a 6 month observational survey to determine the long term impacts of removing pollution from the environment.
Your councilman is trash. I don’t want to encourage bulldozing a neighborhood but you’re right to feel that way. Then again, I do encourage making places walkable so you’d get critical support from me. Just get utilities marked so you don’t hit a gas line.
It’s not just “removing pollution” it’s dredging the entire riverbed. That releases silt, and anything contained in the silt, to flow downstream and collect elsewhere. It can smother fish eggs, it can clog infrastructure, it can kill plants and invertebrates .
I don’t think this dredging means machine based digging on the riverbed in this case. 200bags over 10 days. That’s manual labor.
If the city wasn’t even considering the residents requests then i don’t blame them. The city should do better if they’re concerned about flooding and fund a proper survey and cleanup plan to facilitate the citizen action.

There’s videos of them with a backhoe scraping the river bed and indiscriminately hacking up plants on the riverbank. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
