Three Columbia bridges deemed functionally obsolete

According to a recent Washington Post article, three bridges in the borough are classified as "functionally obsolete." The classification does not necessarily mean that a bridge will fail, only that it is need of repairs. Two of the bridges cross Shawnee Run, and one crosses Strickler Run. More information is shown below.

Another one bites the dust

What was once a building is now a pile of rubble. This (former) brick building at 109 Perry is reputed to have been part of a livery stable years ago, and more recently a residence. It was demolished today to make way for a multi-unit self-storage facility to be developed by Associates Properties PA, LP.  The facility will also include properties at 243 S. Front Street and 319 S. Front. The facility will contain 10 x 20, 10 x 25, and 10 x 30 units, for a total of 40,000 square feet of storage space, according to Jeff Seibert of Associates Properties.  Construction is expected to begin in March and be completed by late July.

Below is a Google Maps photo showing how the building appeared in August 2011. The storage facility will cover the field shown in the photo.
