If the headline of this post doesn’t compute, then try wrapping your cerebellum around the following quote from Dallas’ assistant city manager Jill Jordan.
Question: Jill, with the kayaking, that’s a water contact sport, but what about the water quality?
Jill Jordan: The water quality issues that have been recently in the press really dealt with sediment issues, and so it will be fine for the people just in the water.
This exchange comes from a longer Q&A session that was buried after the jump on DMN city hall writer Steve Thompson’s notes from a breakfast given by the Greater Dallas Planning Council Thursday.
Jordan is probably referring to another DMN writer, Randy Lee Loftis, when she talks about coverage of the Trinity’s water quality issues. Loftis’ stories on the Trinity being among the most polluted waters in Texas and the Trinity’s high PCB levels that make its fish poisonous for humans should be required reading if you plan to kayak through the city’s planned standing wave project.
