I wouldn't trust one that's vibrating.monkeyroticahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13355548198970624797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-35486130627846702732011-11-23T10:04:23.656-05:002011-11-23T10:04:23.656-05:00Love the new design.

It will be great like Key Bridge and Memorial Bridge - classic elements that don't scream for attention but that beautify the city and refine it. Much better than the current bridge.Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-76958363706439255482011-11-22T21:22:11.849-05:002011-11-22T21:22:11.849-05:00Any idea as to what will happen to the south capit...Any idea as to what will happen to the south capitol street heliport?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-71372682464226420862011-11-22T20:44:43.447-05:002011-11-22T20:44:43.447-05:00This low arched bridge is mundane, no one will rem...This low arched bridge is mundane, no one will remember it. There seems to be the pervasive notion that existing monuments should not be detracted from by new architecture. DC is more than the federal city. A cable stayed swing bridge or stayed bascule, that would be memorable. It should be if it is going to be around for the next 50 years!Sivadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-57845573299087055952011-11-22T14:09:53.407-05:002011-11-22T14:09:53.407-05:00The bridge and South Capitol Street should be a vi...The bridge and South Capitol Street should be a vibrant spectacular design, not a watered down version of Memorial Bridge and it's approaches. A neo-classic approach is great, but the design must be better.<br /><br />BTW, can't DC United catch a break with this city? Looking at the space around this project---seems a soccer-only facility would fit right in. Perhaps a new look at Poplar Point? or V Street?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-57965853175179748072011-11-22T13:16:36.349-05:002011-11-22T13:16:36.349-05:00What?

And really, this is a pure amenity, it was more than had to be done, I think you have to visit the area if you don't appreciate the trail. This will be a huge draw by next summer, and will only get better.CJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-37474649743793052882011-11-21T20:57:54.544-05:002011-11-21T20:57:54.544-05:00Yet another loss in creating memorable architectur...Yet another loss in creating memorable architecture in DC.Sivadnoreply@blogger.com
