back to the beginning of humanity, before the wheel, before we domesticated any animals, when all bridges were pedestrian bridges. This is my pedestrian comment on pedestrian bridges.

Honolulu is poised to spend an insane amount of money on an unnecessary bridge. Just bonkers.
63 million is before the endless delays and increased costs. We could house and feed everyone in the islands for quite some time with that. Nuts.

I'd better get back to cleaning up~ thank you for your post. I'm sure it will be a very nice bridge in Seattle. Ours, I have no faith in.

In Seattle, of course, the question always is: when will it stop raining? The most common answer is maybe April or May.

They removed the waterfront streetcar (and later the bus that replaced it) years ago. I used to work in an office a couple of piers north of the Aquarium and it was absolutely impossible to get there via bus (and I live at a light rail station). It took well over an hour, because zero transit goes to the north end of the waterfront. This is purely for tourists.

Moreover, the extension to the Aquarium wasn't in any original plans I saw - it was supposed to be green space, but instead, they widened the road to six lanes. I admit that I don't personally care for aquariums, but be that as it may, expanding it was never in the equation.

My office moved thankfully. The views were beautiful, but people who live and work in the city can't get there.

This drooling love letter also doesn't show one real menace down there - scooters. You have to have your head on a swivel.

The Helix Pedestrian Bridge is way cooler than that...but you won't see that one unless you go north of the grain terminal.
