Narrowing

The first roughly half of this section (from under the freeway to the confluence) had enough room for the creek to be widened to re-create a floodplain and do some meandering of the streambed. Midway down, private properties line river-left, and the railroad flanks the stream to the right, so meandering and floodplain were not an option. As a result, the creek narrows to flow between vertical walls. Flow through here is (at best) swiftwater. At low water, there may be rocks to avoid, but any decent boatable flow everything should be well-covered, making this essentially flatwater.
