Yes, divers are already working on the utilities, etc, under the parking lot.  Demo begins right after the holidays, per Public Works.

Ennis, Have you been to Washington DC lately? They have a really cool kayak and canoe thing going on in the Potomac, about 1 mile upstream from the Kennedy Center. Was there 2-3 summers ago and had a blast.

Problem here with that sort of thing is the current. It could easily carry an inexperienced paddler away. You would need someone in a jet ski to patrol for safety.

You are 100% right about that.  Not to mention the very dangerous eddies in the deeper water.
