Dike Road Levee Work Continues

Maintenance work on Coeur d’Alene’s Rosenberry Drive flood levee has been underway for more than a week, with city crews focusing on tree removal and slope restoration. Coeur d’Alene City Engineer Gordon Dobler said the work done this winter is the first step in an estimated year-long process to get the levee certified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. With the exception of a few large trees that will need to be removed by an outside contractor, Dobler said the maintenance work is going “well” and he doesn’t foresee the need for any additional labor. “We wanted it to be a pilot project to see if it was something our city crews could really even handle, and it turns out we can,” Dobler said/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press.
