- The page labels its renderings AI-generated and says the proposed Pine–Oak wall height has not been verified.
Field notes
The comparison lets visitors switch between the preferred greenway and a permanent-wall scenario, while captions identify the images as conceptual rather than existing conditions. The page also links to Napa County materials, a 35% design compendium, and examples of passive barriers, giving readers routes to compare the proposal with other sources. Its case is explicitly advocacy: it supports flood protection while arguing for lower everyday barriers, planting, and pedestrian access.
