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.
It’s the end of November, so it must be time to get exercised about piles of dead leaves on Albany streets. Not that complaining does any good.
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.
Five years ago Albany applied for a state grant to fix the Salem Avenue bridge over Cox Creek. Now the project has taken on new urgency, and the city has contracted with Wildish Standard Paving to do the work.
Now that construction on Hub City Village has started, when will this planned unit development of 27 small houses in Albany be ready for otherwise homeless people to move in?
There’s a nice little path people can use to walk or bike across the Union Pacific mainline track at Burkhart Street. Nothing much has happened there lately, as far as I know, but I thought I would show it to you anyway.
Albany’ top site for crashes: Here it is
On Saturday I leaned the bike against the stop-sign post at the northwest corner of Geary Street and Salem Avenue in Albany. Why would I do that?
