It is time that we Marcoites come into the modern age. The state has given Marco the right to encroach into canals by 18". Installation of plastic sheeting in front of existing walls is the only way to construct new walls and not impact the existing soil or our neighbors. How simple an operation to place a new wall in front of the existing one, place a new concrete cap one foot above the existing one and install tie backs . In an ideal location the wall can be installed using a pneumatic hammer and will require no excavation, minimal debris removal, no foliage disruption and all work can be done from the water side. What we need is a contractor who is willing to ramp up to this technique and this is where the city could become evolved. The city could even purchase sheeting in bulk to achieve a discount.
