The Black Shiloh community had no #flooding until #ALDOT built the US 84 expansion in 2017. This April 2020 video shows highway runoff breaking through a riprap basin and flooding the Williams property. The same basin overflowed again on Aug. 3, 2026. Believe your eyes! 📺 https://ow.ly/QLz150Zx9Tz
👥 Construction is moving ahead in #Shiloh, but residents are still waiting for #ALDOT to explain the federally funded drainage project. A public information meeting should happen while work is underway. 🔗 https://ow.ly/Z4Ts50YHJnH #JusticeforShiloh #Justcompensation #Blacklandloss

The drainage project in Shiloh amounts to an admission that #ALDOT's US 84 design failed. Flooding began during construction in 2018 and continued after completion in 2019. A 2019 fix failed. Since then, Shiloh has endured 13 highway-related floods, with at least one every year. #JusticeForShiloh

ALDOT's new US 84 Drainage Improvement Project in Shiloh stems from an FHWA civil rights settlement. Yet today, ALDOT diverted stormwater runoff onto the Williams family's property after heavy rain. After 15 floods in 8 years, this is not a solution. 📺 https://youtu.be/Y8CZ_nhlWxI
