Bridges

At its inception, The Alliance established a standing Southside Bridge Committee.  Its responsibility is to monitor the care of the Southside bridges over Four Pole Creek and champion them as needed.  The idea for a committee to watch over the bridges was introduced by then Bylaws Committee member, Tom Craig.  This committee has been very busy and it will continue to be going forward, given that the replacement of the 8th and 5th Street bridges is now underway.  The article below, taken from an earlier Alliance Newsletter, discusses the critical work The Alliance carried out to assure that the appearance of Southside’s replacement bridges would be appropriate for their beautiful, historic settings.
