This is amazing!
But I wonder how come the leaky pipe has been left like that for twenty years.
Is it because people got used to it or the city didn’t listen to complaints?

That’s pretty cool. One nit-pick, though. In order to read the plaque, you have to stand in the middle of Astoria Scum River.

I know of a couple of other places that could use some bridges. Contact me I’d love to help.

@ anna- Well said by someone who is a perfect example of someone being a part of the problem, and not a part of a solution… must be easy to criticize at your keyboard there. These guys got off their a$$, made something with their hands with recycled products (KUDOS!) to benefit their community’s safety! And for that they deserve an “I HEART ASTORIA” people’s award!!!! (applause)

What does the sign say? I can’t make out most of it.

@Anna – Not to mention it would be a felony to tamper with those pipes! That bridge is federal property! I live nearby and have taken stewardship of the bridge, fixing and adjusting when necessary. Of course, there won’t be a need for the bridge soon, now that Amtrak is fixing the problem!

@Anna wow so negative! who are they to fix a pipe – I don’t imagine they’re familiar with the plumbing infrastructure, where the scum comes from, and where/how they could divert it.

Wow thats stupid. If you wanted to put down some work, why not just fix the pipe?? That would have been a benefit to your community. Now you are just an joking asshole trying make some point. In a month that bridge will have been sabotaged by some punk. Then the people will just have a piece of junk blocking the free way over the scum.
