Ron Renkoski: Put in rain gardens as part of road construction

Dear Editor: Whenever and wherever highways, streets, railways and subdivisions are expanded and rebuilt, let?s conserve the soils and water natural resources. Every place that we humans build, the flood hydrograph must be FLATTER afterward, not more spiked. If $715 million is budgeted for I-39-90, then at least $15 million should go to reduce flash floods, like the one that damaged UW-Madison in July 2006.
