The young man who wrote the grant application and locals who wrote in support did a good job. Permits & grant processes determine when work is done. The guy was ( is? ) a agency staffer at the bottom of the ladder who pitched in to help the local fishers. So frankly I imagine the fact that there might be some dislocation for a few was likely down the list a bit. To be blunt as a hammer use Friends Landing it is about 3 minutes down stream as at this minute your looking foolish yipping about being inconvenienced for 3 minutes in a boat. Good grief!
