Once again this fall, we’re seeing one result of the deep drawdown of Green Peter Reservoir: Very turbid water in the Albany Santiam Canal.
Last month I wrote something about the barbed wire fence along the Albany Santiam Canal north of Queen Avenue. The bike took me by there again last week for another look.
A line of new fence posts drew my attention this week along a section of the Albany-Santiam Canal. It brought to mind the stories I did six years ago about this very spot.
Readers of Albany’s proposed water master plan may get the feeling that the city’s historic water and electric plant on Vine Street is not long for this world.
We now have an account of what happened when a car with three people inside crashed through the fence at Third Avenue and Vine Street and landed upside down in the Santiam Canal.
On Tuesday the end of the Santiam Canal at Third Avenue bore the signs of a car crash into the canal. I stopped the bike to take a look, but details of the accident remain scarce.
Here’s where the subject of nutria came up
On a random bike ride in the industrial section of central Albany a month ago, I found myself on the 25th Avenue bridge across the Santiam Canal. And because of what I saw there, the subject of nutria came up.
