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.

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.
