Not a single person would ever walk on that thing. It looks at least twice as long as the direct path.
Alternative solution, block off the road to get ready for construction. Then realize it’s nice not having that road there, and get rid of it. Money saved and it’s nicer.
The bridge was the governor’s idea to celebrate the state’s 150th anniversary. But it was panned by lawmakers, historic preservationists and, apparently, the public.
The bridge would have been paid for by private donations, though the state shelled out $1.5 million in planning costs.
Who the fuck is privately donating $28.5 million to the state to build a walkway in front of tne capitol? I don’t really have an opinion on the bridge itself but I really want to know who’s throwing money at this.
I am failing to comprehend what is going on here. He wants to stop a bridge, that was his idea? Am I reading that right?
Yes, because no one else wants it, including: lawmakers, preservationists, and the public. It was a design by committee project that the public had no real say in what it would be or look like. No one liked it when it was finally unveiled.
