San
Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has
its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention,
is now a local landmark.
The Nutty
Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give
squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing
cars.
The original
bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds.
Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the
Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the
squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza
witnessed squirrels being run over.
One day
Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth and that day's
coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen
cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing
of the City Council(市政会).The
Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere named the bridge "Nutty
Narrows."
After
architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started
Construction, They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire
hose(消防水带). It cost 1,000.
It didn't
take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were
even seen guiding their young and teaching them the ropes. The story was picked
up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became know in newspapers all over the
world.
In 1983,
after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn-out bridge. Repairs were made
and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983,
hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.
Peters died
in 1984, and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in
memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.
