Somethings Going On on the Boulder Bridge

[TheTed]

I'm hopeful we get just a grade crossing. But that wouldn't fit with the rest of downtown: cram as many traffic lanes as possible in creating an uninviting pedestrian environment as well as a road that will never, ever be filled to capacity with cars.

Current plans have the bridge to be replaced at some point in the future as the railroad is unwilling to allow grade/surface crossing and they own the land.  Other developments seem to suggest that this might be done sooner as a result of planning by the Kaiser Family Foundation to provide street scaping and lighting from the ballpark, West on Brady to Cheyenne and South on Cheyenne to 2nd or thereabouts.

My spies tell me they have hired Bing Thom Architects (of Channels fame) to do renderings and planning.

Mwuhahahahaaa.... Iconic? lol

I have heard and seen 2 completely different scenarios.  One is the rumor of an architecturally striking bridge that will go catiwhompus at an angle linking in closer to the center of the Brady Arts district.  The other is a bridge that has greenery, trees, lighting, etc, and wide brick sidewalks on either side.
