This was posted in the Trip Planner forum, but it should probably be posted here too:

The woman that owns the NIMBY rapid is constructing a stone footbridge right over the lead drop into that rapid. I had to hop out to look, and she came down to the river to talk to me. And guys- she was actually really nice, so don't start railing on her. She apologized that it might impede paddlers - said it would be finished later this summer so "this might be the last year boater's can run the drop".
It appears to me that the footbridge will make the drop interesting, but it shouldn't affect the runnability of the drop until the run gets really high - which because of the in Evergreen, that may not happen again. Right now it's just a wood concrete form, and it wasn't in the way of a 6'4" paddle (myself) setting up for a boof stroke. But we'll see. Not sure she's allowed to construct impediments to navigable waters, but I wasn't getting into it with her today. I thanked her for allowing us to check the drop out, and paddled down.
