was repaired, and the heavy rain season has yet to hit us. Certainly only one of the rains we have had since February should be labeled as a 107 year storm; the rest have to be labeled as normal and expected. Nhen we reclaim the land on the west side of the road from the sand, we will be putting tne spri�ig-fed creek and natural h;llside drainnage back irto its natural channel and into the roadsi�e ditch which now can't handle the srate drainnage. We are also experiencing increased traffic as the River Road is closed due to the recent flooding and resultant damage. The increased traffic makes it very hazardous to work on the berm and keep water out of the shed. Drivers not familiar with the road are more likely to have an accident when they hit the water. We realize that a permanent solution will take time, money, creative engineering, and a redefinition of Everett's development and zoning policies. But somethin9 needs to be done irtmediately about the !arimer Read overflows beforr: injuries and/ or excessive damage results. We feel that such interim measures as warning signs, a reduced speed limit, enlarged culverts, and ditch reinforcement will help r.ontrol the water situation until a permanent, comprehensive plan is determined and implemented for yetting the state and city drainnage from the freeway to the Snohomish River. Please advise us uf your immediate plans for controlling the water and what you expect in the w�y of a long term solution. Sincerely, n' �� j� �, :/�l'� i� 2�+_e��ci/u� ��l,Zao�?
