Saving the Historic Bridge

On Wednesday, November 20, the Columbia County Board of Supervisors Public Works Committee meets at 5:00 p.m. in the Committee Room at 401 Street Street. The committee will be discussing and voting on a proposal for a community-oriented design process put forward by the Stuyvesant Town Bridge Committee. The proposal can be found here.

The Stuyvesant Town Bridge Committee, which grew out of opposition and concern about plans to demolish the historic Stuyvesant Falls Bridge and replace it with a modern bridge, has been advocating since August for a process that brings together experts and leadership to come up with a proposal for the bridge that balances community values with feasibility. 

Those who support the effort to save the historic bridge are encouraged to attend the meeting on Wednesday night. There is also a petition to be signed, which can be found here. You do not need to be a resident of Stuyvesant to sign the petition.
