No question in my mind with this one - rip out the water bars in Houston Meadow at Wiss and replace them with something that didn't originate in the mind of someone straight out of 1992. The idea of adding steps to any trail - whether with wooden water bars or even rocks - continues to baffle me. I'm no civil engineer, but it seems that anytime a water bars or steps are added to a trail to stop erosion, all they ever do in reality is concentrate the erosion in the area right in front of the bars/steps. There are three sections of Wiss that have this type of build (the meadow, the steps off Bells Mill Trail head, and the steps off the golf course) and in all three the steps are now about 2-3X the size they were when they were first installed. I just don't get why anyone would think that's a good thing. Meanwhile, the sections that are considered more primitive and natural remain largely unchanged over the years. They ebb and flow with big storms, but left to their own devices they pretty much settle back in to their natural state. It seems like anywhere they've tried to outwit nature without completely redesigning the direction of the trail, it's gone poorly. (That said, I'm not trying to trash the guys who work on the trail there - they've done some great work in many sections. I just seems like they are either limited in what they're allowed to do with hills or they have a genuine blindspot when it comes to how steeper sections respond to fortifications.)
