To the Editor:

Congratulations Forestport! We will be building the new Twin Bridges.

The Town Supervisor, last night, signed the amendment to the contract to proceed with the engineering and design work. That will allow us to get the bridges out for bid in early March.

I am very happy for our town and I hope this will end the rancor and divisions.

The new Twin Bridges will have a 15-foot, 7-inch roadway and a full 5-foot, 6-inch raised sidewalk on the falls’ side.

These new bridges will be the centerpiece of the recreational area surrounding the falls and provide much needed traffic flow through the hamlet.

The estimated price for the project is $495,000.

Thank you for your support. We will work to keep the cost down to the taxpayers.

Thank You,

Parker Snead, Forestport
