San Anselmo flood protection project hits a roadblock
A plan to remove a more than 80-year-old bridge in downtown San Anselmo as part of a key flood control effort in the Ross Valley has hit a snag. The news came as part of a mandated, annual report on the use of funds generated by a stormwater drainage fee presented to the Board of Supervisors earlier this month. The fee was narrowly approved by voters in 2007 to do flood prevention projects in the Ross Valley. Its passage followed destructive storm-driven floods in 1982 and 2005 that damaged 1,200 homes and 200 businesses.
