The kiosk at the river bridge was put on the table for review. This kiosk was a scout project for Nate Adler; it held a copy of the river bridge opening. The map is now faded and unreadable. A call will be made to see what the Adler’s plan on doing with the kiosk. If not going to be used perhaps it can be relocated to the airport walking trail.
