Federal legislation helps Downtown association raises
money for alley art, lighting
local wetland project
Restoration
plans for the
Walluski River
The Daily Astorian
The Astoria Downtown
Historic District Association
is raising money for a perma-
nent mural and lighting instal-
lation in the 13th Street alley.
The alley, which con-
nects Commercial and Duane
streets, has been lit since Janu-
ary by overhead lanterns. The
lighting is expected to come
down this month, but mem-
bers of the association hope
to install a permanent instal-
lation similar to the lanterns,
along with a graphic design or
mural by a local artist adorn-
ing the walls of the narrow
corridor.
“Simply activating the
13th Street alley with over-
head lights in the last few
months has made a big dif-
ference in foot traffic from
Commercial to Duane Street,
as well as giving some sense
of safety to this cool feature
of downtown,” Dulcye Tay-
lor, president of the associa-
tion and owner of nearby Old
Town Framing Co., said in a
release. “Imagining what this
connector alley could be with
some permanent lights and
color is very exciting for our
neck of downtown.”
The association has so
far raised more than $2,000
toward a $7,000 goal and is
taking donations at astori-

U.S.
Rep.
Suzanne
Bonamici has secured a pro-
vision in the federal Water
Resources Development Act
to clear the way for resto-
ration of 52 acres of wetlands
along the Walluski River by
the Columbia River Estuary
Study Taskforce.
The
biennial
water
resources legislation autho-
rizes the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers to maintain the
nation’s water infrastruc-
ture. It passed the House on
a 408-2 vote and has a high
likelihood of passage in the
Senate.
Bonamici’s
provision
would deauthorize parts of
the federally approved Clat-
sop County Diking District
No. 13 levee system along the
western banks of the Walluski
River. The Corps has deter-
mined portions of the dike are
in poor condition because of
vegetation growth, slope fail-
ures and erosion.
“As we learn more about
the environmental signifi-
cance of wetlands to salmon

nile salmon and improves the
long-term protection and sur-
vival of one of our region’s
most iconic species,” Lofman
said.
The restoration project
will be funded by the Bonne-
ville Power Administration.
The agency pays for the res-
toration of wetlands to offset
the environmental impact of
the hydroelectric dam system
on the Columbia and Snake
rivers.
The task force still needs
to engineer the project and
is likely a year or two away
from restoring the wetlands,
Lofman said.
and the environment, it makes
sense to remove these levees
and allow the natural ecosys-
tem to return,” Bonamici said
in a release about the project.
Denise Lofman, executive
director of the task force, said
the site along the Walluski is
ideal for restoration because
the topography along a ris-
ing hillside will not require
any cross-dikes to protect
surrounding properties from
water coming into the new
wetlands.
