See the four bridge type options here.
I bring this up because the day I learned about this I was riding the train into the city and looking out the window and thinking about all the cool bridges that this city has and how they are becoming sort of an iconic image. I was lucky enough to get to work on a pedestrian bridge in Cleveland Heights at the University Heights main library and I personally feel that if we are going to spend a ton of money to reroute traffic through/around Cleveland by constructing a gigantic new bridge, we might as well do it right and create something wonderful that really shows off our ingenuity and acts as a proper gateway for the city. Heck, even if you are just commuting to your dead end job, you still deserve a smile, right? Besides, the way that ODOT is going to totally screw up downtown by getting rid of the innerbelt exists on Prospect and Carnegie they OWE US SOMETHING NICE!
So get off your duffs and go to the meeting and raise hell. Holler out words such as "grace" and "beauty" and "tax dollars" and "Calatrava", gnash your teeth, wave your arms and get your voice heard. Do what you can to make this city pretty.
(as a side note, when I ran spell check, it suggested I replace ODOT with IDIOT)
