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.
What can you say about slabs of concrete that now widen Albany sidewalks here and there? Well, let’s start by answering what a reader asked.
In what was pretty much a formality, the Albany Planning Commission has approved a 22-unit apartment complex on Southeast Salem Avenue and a 23-lot subdivision on Northwest Gibson Hill Road.
The lot you see above with a for-sale sign is at 3055 Salem Ave. S.E.. It’s on one of my bike routes through Albany, and it’s been vacant for as long as I can remember. But it may not stay vacant long.
Closure of Cox Creek bridge tests drivers
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.
