Are beavers to blame for Fanno Creek Trail flooding?

Fanno crossing Hall & your comments on the SW Corridor
There’s a couple pieces of exciting news for anyone who lives, works, or travels around Washington County near Hillsboro, SW Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin, and Sherwood.
Plans for an at-grade crossing at Hall Boulevard and the Fanno Creek Trail on display at an open house in 2011.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming…
If you missed the live broadcast, you can listen online or download an MP3 of the show.
I was going to tell you more about the Cycle Oregon weekend ride, because I have a lot more fun stuff to share (including a time-lapse video of both days), but something’s come up that I want to mention first.
Today at 9:20am (PDT) I’m going to be on OPB’s Think Out Loud to talk about “biking in non-urban areas.”
As you may recall, this isn’t the first time I’ve been able to speak about my experiences bicycling around Washington County on the radio.
