Can I Get a Standing Wave For the Three-Day Opening of the Calatrava In October 2011?

• And to think the Trinity supplies half the states drinking water. OMG. Got that from the Trinity Audubon Center director himself.

• Take a ride on the Poo Poo Wave!

• I would to see us just clean up the trash - mow a few areas - put in some hiking, biking, and walking trails - dish the toll road idea, and fix the levees

• Still looks like Ti-D-Bowl.

• The City of Dallas is self-insured, so we taxpayers will pick up the tab for this one. That cesspool called the Trinity River is rated as one of the three most polluted rivers in Texas, and its water is deemed to be unsafe for human contact by TCEQ and the EPA. It says a lot about what our city leadership thinks of us that they will invite us to climb into kayaks and go for a swim in that dirty water. I just hope that Suhm, Leppert and a few others in city government do it with their mouths open. A couple of gulps of that stuff should just abut end the reign of this particular group of leeches.

• So is Shum asking folks to buy kayaks and plunge into the Trinity with no training (or probably swimming skills?)? Woo-hoo, I am sure the personal injury lawyers are girding up for this and the city's liability insurance is paid up.

• @Max: If I were to guess, I think the Council is going to take the "pretend there's no problem" approach to the levees. They'll continue doing what they're doing and when the levees are decertified they'll exclaim about how the Corps is coming down on us on a technicality or some such. Unless, of course, a levee breaches before then. If that happens they'll try their damnest to play the "but we didn't know" card. And with the DMN on their side, who knows? Maybe it'll work.

• Thanks Bill, maybe we can hang a giant Ty-D-Bol bottle from the Caltravesty arch.

• What a complete joke, and underwhelming isn't even a stong enough adjective for this lame, reach for a news story or announcement by City graveyard-shift Manager Suhm. The only real waves we have seen or will see around here is a "Katrina and the Waves" tour stop at "Firewater Bar and Grill" or "The Bomb Factory."

• Re the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge opening - Did the Corps of Engineering sign off on the levees and the bridge? I thought they couldn't connect the approaches until the Corps signed off on the levees there. "wav ahoundua" - Sounds like somebody is already using the new water project.

• Right now I'm in favor of just about anything that will end the living hell that is west-bound Woodall Rogers. Knowing it's still almost a year away just makes it worse. Wait, where'd they get BLUE water? (scilent approach)

• I saw that someone posted a photo here of the construction last weekend: http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/6223/1000840l.jpg http://www.dorba2.com/forum/commie-forum/10657?page=1#comment-86951

• There's absolutely no way I'm getting in the cesspool that is the Trinity.
