A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

A puzzling tale about an odd little sign

Written June 29th, 2020 by Hasso Hering

In the Age of Corona and General Upheaval, you take your amusement where you can. So here’s something about an odd little sign. Actually two signs that looked about the same.


A crossing puzzle: No pedestrians?

  If that’s not a pedestrian crossing, what else could it possibly be? That was my question when I saw this sign Wednesday at the newly completed railroad crossing at Hill Street and Water Avenue in Albany.


At least it’s nice to look at

Pretty spiffy, you have to admit, looking at the newly reconstructed intersection of Water Avenue and Hill Street on Albany’s riverfront. But functional? Maybe not so much.
