After years of planning and the help of nearly a hundred contributors and volunteers, the LaPlatte Crossing footbridge will finally be ready for crossings this Sunday, November 18th. There will be a ceremony at 3pm, delicious treats and drinks, and live music by a world-touring Swedish band, Kolonien.
The LaPlatte Crossing connects the neighborhoods of Gardenside, Rivercrest, and Thompson Road, to Shelburne village and the wilderness areas along the river. Access to these wonderful, meandering paths from behind the Shelburne Market, the Post Office, the Community Garden, Shelburne Falls, and the junction of Irish Hill and Thompson Road. Private access leads to the Gardenside community and various neighbors in the area. Please be respectful of private property and use the public access trails.
Everyone is welcome to attend the opening and share in this magnificent accomplishment and join in the community of builders and supporters of this addition to the LaPlatte Nature Trails.
