What IS our county highway thinking?

Is our county highway department even thinking? For quite some time North Oak Extended has been washing away along the guardrail by the river outside of the city limit. They've been filling it in with rock. Last week the edge of the street cracked north of the guardrail and was headed for the river, causing me to start harping again that it's not California going to fall into the Pacific, it's Oak Street going to fall into the Wabash River! Oak Street is a dead end so I've been worried that some day we're not going to have a way out. Anyway, Mayor Ted has been working on trying to open up the river more to avoid some of the flooding. So here's the county highway department having Habigs truck in loads of dirt and concrete and dump it down the edge of the riverbank! What kind of fix is that? Won't it just wash away too? Especially when the river floods?
