The damage from this year's flood is the result of 50 years of building houses, buildings, roads and bridges in the 50 year flood plain. Colorado will re-build roads and houses in the same locations. Either build above the 100 year floodplain or build flood control dams on Boulder Creek, Fourmile Creek and the St Vrain River if a repeat performance of this year's flood damage is to be avoided in the future, quite possibly the near future.
