Avi, Are you attempting to build a community vitality bridge over major creeks?
Conversatoin: Good question. What is important to realize for Fairfax County, "Creek Restoration" is a critical element of our Fairfax Metro DC Hub Community.
For example, a major challange & very expensive to do, unless there is neighbors care about the quality of their own neighborhoods with "green neighborhoods" along such a major Potomac River Creek along with "American Civil War in Fairfax was fought (1862-1865).
For those who live along 2 of the major Creeks from Faifax City/Provident District neighborhoods, for example, Accontink Creek, that flows downstream to Richmond Hightway Fairfax Hub Zone community before flowing into the Potomac River.
For background to this topic, I have posted about Nitrogen Fixing Native Virginia Shrubs that can really help slowdown the sediment & nutrient flow into the creeks after a heavy down pour rain such as we have been having.
Yea, "Creek Restoration Challange" at Fairfax is a major "Community Vitality Bridge' if neighborhood support can be martialed. But it will take long time due to the enormity of this "non-point" pollution issue that must be solved with neighborhood support.
