Our Working Waterfront

Less than a month ago, Mayor William Hallenbeck declared his commitment to ensuring that "private shipping can coexist with public uses" on our waterfront. One wonders if he had this in mind. This photograph, just sent to Gossips by a reader, shows a barge at the Holcim dock encroaching on riverfront park to such a degree that it extends completely across the part of the park known as "Rick's Point."
