Bridge access limits emergency services for residents
City officials say East River Road is not a dedicated street and will not fund a new bridge. The existing span was built by residents, with homes about 400 feet away. No fire hydrants north of the bridge prevent fire trucks from crossing, and sewer work must precede development north of the road. Residents must currently meet emergency vehicles at the bridge. The aim is to provide access as close as possible without endangering responders.
