Big important news happens elsewhere, but on Albany’s Dave Clark Riverfront Path there are little things to notice and to see.
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?
At the risk of overdoing these path reports, thrilling though they may seem, here’s one more.
And in other exciting news, the new crossing to the Dave Clark Riverfront Path at Montgomery Street in Albany has been opened for public use.

Albany’s Dave Clark Path along the Willamette River has many upsides. Among them is that now and then in late summer, it affords its users spectacular views of the sun about 20 minutes before it sets.
