It seems like more people every year are appreciating the river in Mpls as a wonderful natural amenity. We live at the very top end of the Mississippi River lock and dam system. I see the day in the future when the three Mpls locks and dams will no longer be considered worth the $3 million per year taxpayer expense and the environmental cost. This day may come in 20 years or it may come in 90 years, but I firmly believe it is coming. And I sure would love to see it in my lifetime.
So, in large part because of this particular viewpoint, I, for one, am not in favor of installing developments like Crown Hydro that may possibly delay the freeing of the river in Minneapolis - or reduce the grandeur of the falls when the river is allowed to flow free.
