An Albany church’s plan to build a worship center has stirred up residents who think the plan would irreparably alter their semi-rural neighborhood. Signs opposing the development have popped up along neighborhood roads.
As expected, Northside Christian Church has not given up on its plan to build a church complex in a rural residential neighborhood outside the city limits in North Albany.
Benton County and ODOT are trying to balance many factors as they try to find the best potential alignment for the long-discussed bikeway and shared-use path between Albany and Corvallis.
Several big issues have to be resolved before there’s any chance that the long planned Albany-Corvallis bike and walking path along Highway 20 can be built.
The idea of building a roughly eight-mile bike path between Albany and Corvallis has been kicking around ever since the Benton County Commissioners mentioned it in 2003. Now the county and ODOT are once again hoping to determine a route the path could take.
