Very thankful work has begun ...... BUT -> The 475' of trench / rock revetment that DOT completed between the Wenners & Shavers right there in the summer of 2013 was $500K.  That was an extensive 20' deep by 20' wide 2:1 slope they then backfilled and seeded for the bike path to run on top of. WHY is an emergency 500' trench / rock revetment costing $1M ?!?!  Aesthetics are NOT a concern here ....are you kidding me? The gravel & silt coming out of that trench should be placed on the river side.... it will be / would be claimed anyway by the Matanuska River.  We need bang for the buck here.... 10' depth x 20' wide 2:1 slope and run as long as you can.  PLEASE !!!
