Last Sunday I paid another visit to the Willamette River viewpoint at the foot of Broadalbin Street on Albany’s waterfront. Here’s what I found.
When construction on the Albany Waterfront Project started in the spring of 2023, a chart produced at an open house anticipated that the project would be completed by November 2024. Now the work will extend far into 2025.
The view from the new platform at Monteith Riverpark is nice, someone observed in an email. But what about that ugly piling sticking up in the middle? Will it be removed?
A week ago Monday, on June 17, the construction fencing around Monteith Riverpark had disappeared, and I took that as an opportunity to make a quick tour of the reconstructed park.
There’s a short boardwalk or wooden walkway along Albany’s Dave Clark Riverfront Path. It is showing its age of about 40 years, but it won’t be replaced or rebuilt as part of the city’s $21.5 million Waterfront Project. Why not?
The new playground in Monteith Riverpark is coming along, and now a couple of things I wondered about have been cleared up.

Now we know how much Pacific Power customers within the city of Albany will pay as their share of the cost of putting power lines under ground on a section of Water Avenue.
