In answer to SeEtta's question, yes, the area around the "footbridge over Plum Creek" will be under water at either proposed water storage level. Yes, I will always call this bridge (until such time as it is removed), the "footbridge over Plum Creek". It is a more descriptive name, more accurate and allows ANYONE visiting Chatfield State Park to find it. A visiting birder can ask ANY State Parks Ranger, Employee or Volunteer and they would know where the "footbridge over Plum Creek" is. I'd venture that less than 15% of Colorado's birders know where "Phoebe Bridge" is. If someone asked me a week ago, I would have guess somewhere near Canon City (SeEtta's territory)!
