What MarketStEl posted is an elegant old bridge design. Nothing wrong with it, if a city can pull it off and build one in a tasteful manner...nothing something that obviously looks faux-old. You know, lot of Palladian motifs, etc. Dallas has two sports buildings that were designed to look faux-old...the Ballpark in Arlington and the AA Center. I don't care much for either.

I was thinking more about building something avant-garde, similar to those Calatrava bridges across the Trinity. It surely would be a jarring contrast/juxtaposition to what's already there upriver.

9/14, quote on elections, because shosh had to put up that thoughtful writeup on mediocrity and elitism:
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." — H. L. Mencken
