The current Hamilton Street Bridge was completed in 1959, replacing the former steel trestle bridge. With the new Hamilton Street entrance ramp aligned further to the south, a small portion of front street and a few houses were vacated. Additionally, an entrance ramp was added from Union Street, which previously ended at Front Street. The photo above shows a portion of the earlier bridge and the former A&B meat packing plant, beyond their office building. The office building has been incorporated into the America On Wheels Transportation Museum.

Off topic, but I’m reading that the Mayor and City Council passed all-important legislation regarding…cat declawing.
ReplyDeleteYou would think that they have more important things to deal with like finding savings in the budget to prevent the forecasted property tax increase, or lowering the resident EIT rate that unfairly punishes residents that work.
If there is a cat problem for the city to solve, how about dealing with the large number of feral cats that live in the city, or cat owners who allow their cats to roam their neighborhoods instead of keeping them inside?
i agree.. we have more pressing issues.... wow..
