The Albany City Council is looking at a report on the feasibility of setting up new urban renewal districts to spur development east of I-5 and the south part of town.
On Wednesday I took a bike ride to the east side of Albany to take a look at the site where a series of apartment blocks are sprouting up south of the roundabout on Knox Butte Road.
Dressed up: The corner of Santiam and Main
Bike rides through the east end of old Albany occasionally take me past the corner of Main Street and Santiam Road, the former site of the historic Cumberland Church. Now the corner has a new look.
