On a warm, summer’s evening in Northfield, Bridge Square and the Riverwalk draw a lot of people. It is a nice place to stroll along the Cannon River, to look at the water falling over the dam, to see people fishing off the bridge, or just sitting and visiting or eating ice cream.
The other night we took our ice cream treat down to Bridge Square and looked out on the river. To our surprise there was a log jam.
A couple big tree trunks were stuck in the dam and hundreds of branches and sticks have accumulated at the blockage. We’ve never seen it backed up so much.
It was a sight to see. Hopefully it will be cleaned up soon.
I’ve seen a large log there last week but didn’t see all the back up branches, sticks, etc. Does the city remove the log at some point or
do they hope it will just pass down river if the current is strong enough.
I believe they are stuck and will need help being removed…
I’m not sure who is responsible for cleaning it up.
Oh, my. I wonder why…
The tree trunks are stuck and not letting the logs float on down the stream…
I drove by again today and there’s still a pile up.
Yikes, that looks awful. I hope they are able to remove the jam. All that pileup looks messy and dangerous.
Unfortunately, it’s still an eye sore…
