It was in the spring two years ago that an old broken Allis Chalmers tractor caught my eye on the south side of Ellingson Road opposite Lochner Road, at the south end of Albany.
A residential subdivision in South Albany is turning out differently than when it was proposed and when the Albany Planning Commission approved it in 2019.
The City of Albany has received its second request to convert a single-family subdivision to “middle housing” at twice the density previously approved.
The Albany City Council is looking at a report on the feasibility of setting up new urban renewal districts to spur development east of I-5 and the south part of town.
The south end of Lochner Road was supposed to be open again by mid-April, but it remained closed because of construction at the beginning of May.
Neighbors now don’t have to worry that the city will reopen the handy shortcut from 36th Avenue to Ermine Street near South Albany High School.

The renovation of Deerfield Park in South Albany was supposed to be complete by the fall of 2025. But as nearby residents know, it is not quite finished yet.
