In this month’s issue, Scientific American is featuring a letter submitted by Levees.org founder Sandy Rosenthal.
The letter notes a misleading assumption in an article by writer Mark Fischetti in an interview with Klaus Jacob, the scientist who predicted the damage from Hurricane Sandy.
In his discussion about sea level rise and subsidence, Klaus states:
Levees.org founder Sandy Rosenthal discusses the breach of the 17th Street Canal on May 4, 2012.
Levees.org will host its Second Annual Guided Levee Disaster Bike Tour on Sunday May 5 starting at 9 a.m.
The group will depart from City Park Boat/Bike Rentals parking lot. After stops at the London Avenue and 17th Street Canal breach sites, we return to the Parkview Cafe in City Park. The bike tour is 12 miles through neighborhoods, along Lake Pontchartrain and through City Park. It will take between 1 & 1/2 to 2 hours.

There is no charge to join the Bike Tour. But you must bring your own bike.
This tour was inspired by, and organized with assistance from, Jane Jacobs Walk, an organization committed to helping city neighborhoods thrive by making them walkable and bike-friendly.
