Map of Floodplains from Lane Council of Governments
There is a reason why West 11th was built where it is -- the current route avoids most of the floodplain of Amazon Creek.
In contrast, the WEP would have maximum impact on the Amazon floodplain.
from the 1990 Final EIS - the WEP route would cut across the maximum area of
Amazon Creek floodplain
(note also that the new "Target" store was built in the floodplain)
