The flood way saves Wpg, at the expense of communities north and south of Wpg. Try selling that to cities that would be negatively impacted.

I also wonder if the topography of the land around the bow lends itself to this type of situation. Think of lake Mackenzie which is likely more than a 100 feet above the bow, but across from it is a lot of low lying land which is part of fish creek.
