Bit by bit, Albany’s new plaza street is taking its final shape as the city’s contractor is getting close to winding up three years of construction on the Albany Waterfront Project.
The construction of Albany’s new plaza street is supposed to be complete in November, and it looks like the contractors may reach that goal.
Years ago, the weekly farmers’ market drew people to the Albany riverfront on Saturday mornings. It will do so again starting next spring.
A couple of things caught my attention Friday on a bike ride along Albany’s new plaza street, the block of Water Avenue near the entrance to Monteith Riverpark.
Returning to Albany after a few days away, I wondered how far the city’s contractor had gotten with the Water Avenue “plaza street,” the last key element of the Albany Revitalization Agency’s $21.5Â million Waterfront Project.
When the contractor on Albany’s Waterfront Project started building the new “plaza street” on April 14, the city expected the closure of that section of Water Avenue to end in mid-June. The work has taken longer than that.
