Other Elements<br />
1. Brooklyn Avenue Dam<br />
The new dam at Brooklyn Avenue will be<br />
constructed so that passenger barge traffic can<br />
continue upstream to Josephine Street. It will<br />
consist of no locks, one lock, or two locks that also<br />
serve as floodgates that will be operated by a<br />
mechanical operating system. The final <strong>design</strong><br />
team must evaluate the options and provide a final<br />
recommendation. Refer to the Appendix for<br />
further information.<br />
The aesthetic of the dam is to be low profile and<br />
simple. It will include a water feature between the<br />
locks that will carry the <strong>river</strong> base flow of 21 cfs.<br />
In addition, the dam will include overflow culverts<br />
on both sides that will carry the one- to ten-year<br />
flood events. When a flood event of greater than<br />
ten years occurs, the locks will be used as flood<br />
gates and opened.<br />
The Brooklyn Avenue dam is intended to also be a<br />
community gathering area around which people<br />
will sit and view locks operating. Therefore,<br />
seating opportunities should be provided.<br />
