Foot bridge getting rickety

The foot bridge across Crab Creek has become more than rickety these days. Many boards are cracked and loose. Others exhibit screws that have backed out of the wood by an inch in some cases. It seems that the looser everything gets, the more the bridge also becomes a target for kids and even some adults who do their best to make the bridge sway as much as possible while other people are trying to cross it. The swaying is likely one reason why the screws are becoming so loose. Some boards have even lost all of the screws at one end.

Mayor Doug Plinski was informed of the problems and said that he would make out a work order immediately for the public works crew to have a look at the condition of the bridge and take any remedial action necessary.
