Albany’s Dave Clark Path along the Willamette River has many upsides. Among them is that now and then in late summer, it affords its users spectacular views of the sun about 20 minutes before it sets.
Let’s catch up with the loose ends left by the May 14 story about trimming the small trees and bushes on the Willamette riverbank in front of Linn County’s Wheelhouse Building.
It was Linn County that caused about two dozen bushes and small riverbank trees on the Willamette to be cut down last week.
A week ago, I was out of town when someone got my attention with an email message. This was on May 7, and I couldn’t do anything about it at the time.
Linn County now owns the Wheelhouse, the four-story office building whose tenants on the north side have a commanding view of the Willamette River.
For years the Linn County commissioners have been trying to find more space in Albany for county government functions. Now they have their eyes on the Wheelhouse, the four-story office building overlooking the Willamette River.
An election reminder off the riverfront path
In case you forgot or didn’t get the news at the time, the Linn County Clerk’s Office moved out of the courthouse. The office is now in the Wheelhouse Building on the Albany riverfront, as the ballot drop box outside reminds me every time I pass it on the Dave Clark Riverfront Path.
