Kayakers vs Surfers at the Boise River Park.

Public meeting on Wed regarding Phase II of the downstream white water features. Synopsis, no one foresaw the rise in popularity of surfing and now it's an issue.
One thing the author left out is the Americana Diversion still remains as another developable whitewater recreation feature.
Edit: Found the rendering done by McLaughlin. Downstream is to the right.
Edit2: The original design was by Recreation Engineering and Planning.
http://www.repwaterparks.com/projects Their site mentions Boise River Park design in 2003. Sadly the rendering of Americana seems to have disappeared. At some later point, City of Boise gave the contract to McLaughlin.
