Angels Camp, CA...We will be closing the shop on Thursday, March 30 and re-opening on Friday, April 7 for our closing sale. After much thought and with the full support of her family, Ginger will take this opportunity to visit her kids in Washington, Oregon, California & Idaho , her sister in Fresno and when she is home in Angels Camp she would love to continue teaching her love of all things quilting & sewing. The sudden & unexpected loss of Chuck has been devastating & she feels the only way to make any sense out of his loss will be to honor their dream of retirement & travel. With 6 kids, 13 grandchildren, 1 great-grandson and many friends to visit, she will have the freedom for extended visits & she will be pampered!
Algiers Street Walking Bridge Senior Project By Ryan Heryford
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/29/2017 08:35 PM
Murphys, CA...Algiers Street Walking Bridge Sponsorship. To Murphys Community Supporters, I am writing you this letter to tell you of a community concern of mine. The Algiers Street road bridge near Murphys Park has been a safety hazard for local pedestrians for a long time. Tourists and locals find the Black Bart Theater parking lot a great place to park, but they must cross the dangerous one-lane road bridge to walk to the park, Veterans Memorial and Main Street. On popular weekends, the bridge becomes a bottleneck and can get jammed up with both pedestrians and vehicles. I have been working on a solution to fix this unsafe situation. My project consists of the installation of a 60’ walking bridge, parallel to the existing Algiers Street road bridge (See attached image). This bridge has been my Eagle Scout and Senior Project for the past year. The walking bridge area has been surveyed, engineered, had a wetlands study done and is now ready for construction.
