The Register-Star reported today that, at its meeting on Wednesday, the Columbia County Board of Supervisors voted to move ahead with the demolition and replacement of the Stuyvesant Falls Bridge.
The vote on the resolution to move forward with this unwelcome action was 19 to 4. Of the four dissenting votes, two were cast by Hudson supervisors, Claire Cousin (First Ward) and Linda Mussmann (Fourth Ward). The article indicates that Hudson supervisor Michael Chameides (Third Ward) was absent from the meeting. It can be assumed that the other two Hudson supervisors--Abdus Miah (Second Ward) and Rick Scalera (Fifth Ward)--voted in support of demolishing the 1899 iron truss bridge that is a contributing structure in the Stuyvesant Falls Mill District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1976.

Walking across the Stuyvesant Falls bridge on a sunny day, through the shadows of the truss work is an immersive sculpture experience.
