“I finally got down under the bridge I have been driving over for 50 years and had a good look at the nineteenth century arch supports. Just magnificent in the fading autumn. It crosses the Quassaick Creek where Newburgh meets New Windsor.”

This a wonderful picture of one of those fantastic unknown Newburgh places. Thanks to the work of the COGs of the Quassaick Creek coalition our “Other Waterfront” is being discovered. I understand Bridge Street has been closed since last week. I think this would be a wonderful opportunity for our own HighLine park. I know there are businesses on the south side but they can easily be reached from the south side. What do you think?
Like it. Through my web reads I’ve noticed a growing trend in pedestrian walks and bridges. I think it may be ‘blow back’ from an over connection to the virtual environment. Aside, often times it’s a matter of redefining and expanding on an already existing work of infrastructure to include its surroundings to the benefit of the environment as well as the community. It’s a concept that’s worth deliberation during the bridge’s planning stage. In the least a consideration toward incorporating the possibility of retrofitting design elements in the future, as monies become available, into the base project.
