There will be a great big party for the closing of the bridge on Wednesday, June 30, at 6pm! It will be an opportunity to walk across the bridge one last time and then great music, drinks, mural painting, and mingling with your neighbors!
For more information about the event — check out the event page here.
ECOSS is helping to coordinate the event and is looking for volunteers. They will need some help cleaning and setting up before hand from 4-6pm and some additional help at the end of the event to clean up. Contact Jordon McEntire at ECOSS — jordon(at)ecoss.org 206 767 0432.
