Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 2036310, member: 405"] There have been public forums on this. I guess you know much more than the engineers who have studied this. I also don't know why you feel the need to mischaracterize what I've said in 2 posts now. I didn't say the roadway runs either next to the Inner Harbor or next to the lake. I said among the other problems with the tunnel concept is that the water table is too shallow there as it runs from downtown parallel to North Salina Street, and will require significant infrastructure for pumping out water alongside the tunnel. The water run-off problem is not from the tunnel, per se, but from the water pumped out of the tunnel that seeps in there from the water table. Where does that go? Into the lake, probably via the Inner Harbor, a short distance from the waste treatment plant. Have you noticed that after a big storm, the sewers overflow and unfiltered waste goes into the lake? That's what I'm talking about. [/QUOTE]
