    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.
