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.
That’s not a pedestrian bridge. A pedestrian bridge is designed to efficiently get pedestrians from one place to another.
That’s a monument or memorial. It’s potential a cultural art center or other city resource to make the space interesting/informative/engaging. Calling it a pedestrian bridge isn’t doing it justice.
That said, I’m in strong favor of pedestrian resources and cities building interesting architecture to make the city itself interesting & beautiful, but this one’s ugly as fuck and shouldn’t be built.
