![]() ![]() Nearly every other mountain bike manufacturer uses the same length chainstays on the rear triangle of their bikes. That means that riders on extra small or extra large frames are getting a bike that rides differently than the designer intended. Gravity Tune – available on Norco’s mid and high end platforms, provides specific rear center lengths for each size of bike to ensure that no mater what size your ride, you are getting optimal performance. In fact, I bet some of the fast moving water which was mitigated by the rocks in the ditch, I bet that was caused by run off from the illegal off roading. No gravity boise crack#And the city is all worried about 1 little airstrip? When are they going to crack down on the off roaders? ![]() ![]() For Pete’s sake, people are still 4-wheeling and ripping to shreds the hillside up there. Table Rock and Table Rock Road need to be finished off into an urban park and parkway. Why has KTVB not done the research on the rocks in the ditch on Table Rock Road? When were those placed? Why does curb, gutter, sidewalk and storm drain end just a few hundred yards before the slide problem area? Hey, I’m not defending the developer or those people who built on steep cut and fill banks, but… All I want to know is what did ACHD know and when did they know it about Table Rock Road above?Īctually, we can go even further. If it was so obvious, show me where you wrote about this as a disaster in the making. I think you have 20/20 hindsight goggles on. Their only interest is selling ads to advertisers. Ditto that for the Bay Area counties too. I’m willing to bet most if not all developments in LA, Orange and SD counties are required to have geo-soils inspection reports. I can tell you’ve never built so much as a doghouse in CA. Yossarian with the obligatory Californian snark. Do you understand that engineers simply do not sign off on stuff unless they can back it up? If there’s a failure then they get sued. My sources in Boulder Heights tell me they jumped through all the hoops and geo-soils engineers signed off. Should all new development in that vast area be banned? There is greater risk of a Boise River flood filling the valley from bench to foothills. ![]() TS Samuelson: Who? Which geologist said the foothills are a landslide risk? Once every 10,000 years is not much of a risk. I saw someone shooting video of it though, but not the news media. I’m not a geo-soils tech, but that rocky swale is slowing down water which is then obviously percolating into the hill. Was it before or after the geo-soils tests for the development below? The question is when did ACHD put those rocks in the ditch presumably in order to slow down storm water which was deepening the ditch. No one is reporting on the rocky drainage swale on Table Rock Road directly above Alto Via. The laws of gravity are enforced by Mother Nature. We know instances of hillside irrigation flooding downhill neighbor’s basements. The local precip is about 13 inches annually, but all those green lawns and trees at luxury homes need much more water to survive. It may be nice to look down on your neighbors, but those big roofs, paved driveways and roads all tend to concentrate water and saturate the subsoils. The sealed parts of the sponge repel the water, but soon there is more water than the sponge can absorb and it either pools or runs off like a flash flood. The “Boise Front” is essentially the same piece of land as HSB Hill and Warm Springs Mesa, yet Boise City officials seemed surprised that high-end real estate along Table Rock Road is now slip-sliding a way.įor perspective, think of the foot hills as a giant sponge and all the roads and rooftops as strips of plastic wrap. Seems there isn’t much in the way of “institutional memory” when it comes to Boise foothills road and home construction. Old Hwy 55 after years of washouts and landslides. ![]()
