Oh, child, the scandal is way, way deeper and more profound than the mere incompetence of a single Marin County Supervisor. If you check the EIR's filed with the City of Novato and Marin County for the developments on either side of Novato Creek upstream of the bridge you will find that not one – none, zip, nada – took into account the hydrological effects of added roof tops and acres of newly paved parking lots and streets at the shopping center south of Novato Creek and at the medical centers and offices north of Novato Creek would have on Novato Creek and the surrounding area above the NWP bridge. Not to mention the effects of the bridges at Rowland Way or Redwood Blvd. The effects of these developments on the volume and rates of water flow trying to pass the NWP bridge were blissfully, and conveniently, ignored. The City of Novato excoriates the NCRA for breach of CEQA; what about the City's responsibility for dereliction of duty with respect to the false and misleading EIRs they accepted regarding building developments around Novato Creek? Go to the City Planning office and read the documents for yourselves.
