The days of jumping off the Lift Bridge in Stillwater may be coming to an end.
Mayor Ted Kozlowsi is pushing an ordinance that would outlaw what has traditionally been a summertime right of passage. The mayor, who says he jumped off the bridge when he was young, says it’s a safety issue. Jumping off the bridge is not technically illegal in Stillwater, something the mayor and city leaders say surprised them. The ordinance will come-up for its final vote in the first week of September.
