Project would restore piers near bridge A proposal to restore and connect two old piers south of Old Youngs Bay Bridge will make them safer and provide a greater opportunity for rec- reational uses, developer Ste- ven Cullen contends. His pier restoration at 859 Olyney Ave. would extend the life of the piers and allow ac- cess for emergency vehicles. The new 6,000-square-foot addition would be built of wood with steel grates. The Army Corps of Engi- neers seeks public comment on the proposal since it af- fects Youngs Bay, a public waterway. The 12.76-acre project is next to Astoria Recreation Center. The original piers were built in 1940. The applicant plans to min- imize environmental impacts by using a floating boom to capture debris, checking equipment daily for leaks, in- stalling steel grates to allow light to reach the water and installing deterrents to pre- vent birds from perching. Part of the mitigation in- cludes removing 60 old tim- ber pilings. Comments will be taken through Aug. 1.

Power outage begins Friday night Pacific Power has sched- uled two power outages this summer to make transmis- sion system improvements. The first outage begins to- night, July 13, at 11:59 p.m. and runs through 6:30 a.m. Saturday. The second outage is from 11:59 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, to 4 a.m. Aug 11. About 3,100 Pacific Power customers in Warrenton and Hammond will be without electricity as crews upgrade essential equipment to in- crease capacity and improve reliability in the area, says a news release about the outage. The outage will affect the entire city and everyone has been notified by mail. “The temporary power in- terruption is necessary in or- der for us to safely upgrade the equipment in the sub- station that serves the area,” said Rachelle Hannon, acting regional business manager for Pacific Power. “The work will reduce the likelihood of unexpected outages in the fu- ture.” Questions about the outage should be directed to 888- 221-7070.
