Dedicated to the memory of former Assemblyman Glenn E. Coolidge |
This bridge, which is fairly busy with pedestrian, bike, and vehicle traffic, provides access to the small craft harbor. Pedestrians can walk down a staircase on the South-West side of the bridge, and all traffic can access the harbor on the South-East side of the bridge where it turns into Eaton Street.
Although there are bike lanes on this bridge, they're fairly narrow - be careful!

This bridge serves to divide the North (or Upper) and South (or Lower) sections of harbor, and makes for a good vantage point for pedestrians who like to watch the student sailors learn how to tack.
