The road leading to it was abandoned and the bridge appears to have lasted until the mid-1960s. But so far I can’t find any newspaper article about it being demolished or lost in a flood, etc. I’ll keep trying and will reach out to the County Engineer office.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-15057830872739027762020-10-07T08:27:07.034-04:002020-10-07T08:27:07.034-04:00So maybe I missed it but,what happened to the brid...So maybe I missed it but,what happened to the bridge?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-30314322811350815332020-10-06T19:43:50.857-04:002020-10-06T19:43:50.857-04:00Darn you Dan... you beat me by a few minutes. ...Darn you Dan... you beat me by a few minutes.

On the 1896 Amherst Township map, I see that there were some Fosters that owned land at the eastern end of the road, right where Oberlin Avenue runs into Cooper Foster Park Road. Maybe someone from the Amherst historical group can enlighten us as to how the road’s full name evolved.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-80086298695714120182020-10-06T16:17:20.550-04:002020-10-06T16:17:20.550-04:00Having grown up on Kolbe Road not far from Cooper ...Having grown up on Kolbe Road not far from Cooper Foster Park Road, I was always intrigued by the name. Many roads are named for early settlers whose farms were served by the roads, so I always assumed that Cooper Foster Park Road was named for three early settlers whose land the road intersected, but no one I asked could tell me who these families were. Apparently the Cooper portion of the name was derived from the Cooper family who lived near the western terminus of the road south of Vermilion -- Now who are the Foster and Park portion of the road named after? Does anyone know?Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-71582057082736525672020-10-06T10:36:46.842-04:002020-10-06T10:36:46.842-04:00I agree with Drew.
