Actually, this is a great time for the city to build stuff like this. Construction materials and trade costs are at their lowest when things are bad, so why not take advantage? When things are booming again, this thing will be twice as expensive to build. This goes for other infrastructure and city projects too. Another bonus is that something like this puts people to work who otherwise would be collecting unemployment.
Just because the optics are bad now, doesn't mean that long term it doesn't make sense.
