At the risk of overdoing the railroad theme on this blog, here’s yet another train episode.
Albany is still waiting to hear whether it will receive a federal grant to pay for installing four more public electric-vehicle charging stations at key points in town.
Someone was wondering about the little metal shed that has just appeared next to the new platform at Albany Station. And no, it’s not the outside restroom that the City of Albany once wanted to build but then postponed.
Albany Station may one day have a public restroom available when the station is closed, but it won’t be soon.
Nearly four years ago, the city council decided to seek grants to build a small public restroom outside Albany Station. Now city officials are proposing to give up on the project as too expensive.
One hates to be a nag. Still, when the bike takes me through the parking lot of Albany Station, experience says I should look up at the top of the tower and check the clocks, just for fun.
A fence hole where a bridge was proposed
For a long time now, there’s been a gaping hole in the fence on the path from Albany Station to Swanson Park. That might have been foreseen when plans for the station remodeling were discussed 23 years ago.
