Comments:
Semi-confined, jammed against Strafford Rd. Recommend upgrading Drew Rd. to become the main road? Strafford Rd will be a chronic, perennial trouble spot. Narrowing of valley significantly increases force of water, huge material being moved in floods. Stream has been dredged for riprap on road bank, likely throughout much of this segment length over time. Borders on G-type stream, but w/d ratio is just above expected range for G and thus classed as B to F-type stream type departure.
