Nearly four years ago, the city council decided to seek grants to build a small public restroom outside Albany Station. Now city officials are proposing to give up on the project as too expensive.
Watching a video on urban planning and transportation the other day, I heard the presenter refer to “bike gutters.” What did he mean?
There exists, you may be astonished to learn, a regional transportation plan for the “Albany metropolitan area.” And among many other things on its hundreds of pages, it rates existing “bicycle facilities” by their “levels of stress” or LTS.
The sprawling Millersburg site where International Paper shut down and demolished the Albany Paper Mill still sits mostly empty, presumably awaiting a buyer. But some local officials have visions of turning the place into an intermodal shipping hub that would bypass the troubled Port of Portland and link the valley to the world.
On riverfront path, the count is on
Chances are you have been counted if you walked or biked along the length of Albany’s Dave Clark Path in the last few days.
