Pacific Boulevard in west Albany, not known for visual curiosities, now has at least one: a pair of green baby dinosaurs looking out at traffic on the highway.
On the third of December I reported that the new fountain in Albany’s Waverly Lake might soon be lighted in color again. Tonight I finally thought to confirm that that’s the case.
When Queen Avenue east of Pacific Boulevard in Albany was repaved and reopened to traffic last week, a new wrinkle appeared in the markings the contractor laid down: a series of green stripes in the bike lane.
Traffic should soon be able to get back on Albany’s Queen Avenue from Pacific Boulevard as a contractor winds up a $4 million reconstruction and repaving project.
The closure of Salem Avenue at Waverly Lake caused congestion and some consternation at the end of the workday Tuesday afternoon. I was glad I was on the bike and not in a car.
“As a fellow cyclist,” Albany resident Travis Remington asked me, “how do feel about the upkeep of the main bike lanes through Albany?”

“Quick question,” Nate Forbes asked via email. “There’s been a bunch of digging and tarping on the west side of Pacific Blvd SW near 32nd Ave SW, just across from the Mid-Willamette Family YMCA. Do you happen to know what’s going on there (construction, remediation, etc.) and who’s/what is behind it?”
