On Friday morning, a faithful reader asked a question in the comments on this site. I gave a quick answer but then got on the bike to make sure my answer was right.
A surprising public notice by the City of Albany caught my eye last week. It notified people of a “floodplain development review” at The Banks, the apartment complex on the Willamette River.
The work to remove overhead wiring along the west end of Albany’s Water Avenue is nearing its completion. The power poles between Washington Street and the Ellsworth Street bridge were still up this week but won’t be there much longer.
On rainy days last winter, customers of “Charli’s on I-5,” the food-trailer pod on Airport Road in Albany, were able to stay warm and dry inside igloo-like shelters. The city says the structures are not approved and will have to go.
