Not reading the rest of the list, I'd say something needs to be done with McCoys Creek as well.  I've been researching it for the last few weeks and will feature a story on it next week.  The McCoys Creek Improvement Project was completed a year after the Hogans Creek Improvement Project.  Both featured similar beautification and flood control techniques.  Both also have suffered from neglect since their completion.
