Approach

Facilitate response to higher peak flows by reducing the road system and thus flooding of roads and stream crossings; disconnect roads from streams.

Tactics

  • Continue to decommission roads with high risk and low access.
  • Convert use to other transportation modes (e.g. from vehicle to bicycle or foot).
  • Use drains, gravel, and outsloping of roads to disperse surface water.
