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.
