I was out of town for a while and had not been on the Dave Clark Riverside Path in Albany for more than a week. When I got back on it Friday, something on the path had changed and something else not.
Pavement issues in Albany come in all sizes. This one is surely one of the smallest and least troublesome. But it’s on the Dave Clark Path, so it rates a notice on my riverfront beat.
Branches crashing down from the riverside trees are not a common hazard on Albany’s Dave Clark Riverfront Path. But it can happen.
From the Dave Clark Riverfront Path, you can see one of the piers on the river being rebuilt as part of the Albany Waterfront Project. The other one is being rebuilt too, but you can’t see it from the land side because the path is blocked.
On Friday’s bike ride I stopped for a minute on the riverfront boardwalk below the Ellsworth Street Bridge.
A fence went up along the perimeter of Albany’s Monteith Riverpark Monday so construction can start on rebuilding the park. The work may last until the end of November.
Day marked by, what else, riding the bike
Several times a week I take the bike along the Dave Clark Riverfront Path in Albany. That’s what I did again on Sunday because I wanted to take advantage of the weather, which was exceptionally fine.
