In this urban stream, a salmon faces multiple road culverts that can block its spawning migration in different ways. Some culverts are complete barriers, while others may let it slip through. Each stream crossing could be owned by a different party. But the federal injunction only applies to state-owned culverts, leaving others in the way.
