　　One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety.

The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows”．Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60­foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带). It cost $1，000.ts of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching_them_the_ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.

　　In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn­out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.

　　Peters died in 1984, and a ten­foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.
