Along with taxes, flooding remediation and downtown development, the Highbrook Bridge has come up as an issue in the current campaign for three Village of Pelham trustee positions. It must first be said that the Highbrook Bridge is not even really a bridge anymore. It is a former railroad bridge that has not been used in more than 70 years. The massive concrete structure spans Highbrook Avenue between Harmon and Lincoln Avenues with houses on all sides in the residential neighborhood, so most motorists driving under it hardly notice it. There are pedestrian sidewalks under it as well and fencing that prevents anyone from trying to climb it.The town is hot to sell this land to a developer. Even if two more houses were sandwiched in there, would the increase in tax revenue offset the cost of removing this bridge? I dont think so.
