Opinion: The Mismanagement and Neglect of Olmos Creek

Written by Sarah Reveley.

Passing the buck is the only action that has been done at Olmos Creek, by a variety of bureaucrats. On October 11th, our pleas began, and as of December 12th, nothing has been done. In addition to the lack of immediate clean-up, there is no long-term maintenance plan to keep Olmos Creek clean, no long-term plan to solve the problem of the debris that flows into Olmos Creek at Jones Maltsberger, and no government entity that wants to accept responsibility. The section of creek in Alamo Heights is actually owned by the city of Alamo Heights, the church, and 2 private residents.
