CRAB Rowers!  Labor Day (this coming Monday) marks the beginning of the fall traffic pattern change for the Powerhouse Stretch.  Starting MONDAY, the center arches of River St. and Western Ave. bridges become UPSTREAM ONLY, 24 hours a day (we removed the 5am to 1pm only designation previously in place with a traffic pattern amendment vote this past winter).   Please keep in mind that that today (no matter what day it is other than October 21-22) is NOT race day and it is NOT OK to row over the centerline of the river.  This traffic pattern change reflects that we know that alot of people will be doing race pieces and we feel it is more safe to have a buffer between on-coming traffic.  But it doesn't mean that you get more of the river when you're heading upstream.  Better yet, keep to the righthand third of the river.  Take the shore arches if you don't have to pass a slower boat already using them.   Please do not mistake this change as any recognition that race pieces are more important that whatever anyone else is doing.  We all have to share the river whether you are racing or not.  Share it like your mom is watching. Please also keep in mind that the Power boats, particularly the larger ones, need to stay in the channel.  They will be using the center arches bi-directionally.  You still need to keep your eyes peeled for them and make sure that you are out of their way, even when you're doing a race piece. The center arches in the Powerhouse (thats River and Western ONLY) will go back to bi-directional on Thanksgiving. Safety First people.
