Yeah you need to run an environmental impact study and a 6 month observational survey to determine the long term impacts of removing pollution from the environment.

Your councilman is trash. I don't want to encourage bulldozing a neighborhood but you're right to feel that way. Then again, I do encourage making places walkable so you'd get critical support from me. Just get utilities marked so you don't hit a gas line.

It's not just "removing pollution" it's dredging the entire riverbed. That releases silt, and anything contained in the silt, to flow downstream and collect elsewhere. It can smother fish eggs, it can clog infrastructure, it can kill plants and invertebrates .
