[Tweeters] Bridge closed in Yost Park

[Douglas Resnick]

When I visited Yost Park on 10/03/22, I found numerous signs saying that 
a certain bridge inside the park was closed indefinitely.  Here are 
Google Maps coordinates of a point just south of the bridge:  
47.808633,-122.358248.  I asked the Parks Department about this, and 
their reply is below.

Thank you for inquiry regarding the bridge closure in Yost Park. The 
attached image illustrates the creek scouring of the bridge abutment. 
The City had a Structural Engineer assess the bridge and abutment safety 
and it was recommended to close the bridge starting this month due to 
potential failure of the abutment with upcoming winter rains.

The repair or replacement of the bridge and abutment is a complicated 
process due to its location across a waterway including additional 
evaluation, design and permits and therefore at this time we are unable 
to provide a schedule for that work.
