One Eastside man is expressing concerns about Kinnison Wash being loaded with vegetation. While monsoon is over, it's not unusual to see more rain in Tucson during the winter, so he fears it could lead to potential flooding. Bill Mackinnon has lived next to Kinnison Wash for about 40 years. He tells me that he's seen the wash go through many different stages. MacKinnon says Kinnison Wash has filled up with less vegetation than there is now.

The Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility says:'In general, across the City of Tucson, Streets Maintenance Staff with the Department of Transportation and Mobility trims and clears trees and brush in washes prior to the monsoon each year, ensuring flow lines are clear. Following monsoon, DTM staff, alongside the City's environmental team, determine if washes are overgrown and if trimming is necessary, while also adhering to the Mayor's Tucson Million Trees Initiative.
