According to an update posted on the Friends of the Ravines website, a construction project has claimed a portion of the Bill Moose Ravine in the northern Clintonville/Beechwold area. Understandably, the group is upset about the demolition and is questioning the processes that allowed the construction work to begin without their awareness:
“We are not sure if FLOW, or the community, could have done anything to protect the ravine, but we will never know. This is a significant loss of green space, wildlife habitat, and storm water protection for our community.”
The clearing has been made for the construction of a new Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers location near the Graceland Shopping Center. The Friends of the Ravines update states that the portion of the ravine razed is 40 feet deep, hundreds of feet long, and included many old growth trees.
