To me, its just not a bridge design that makes me go wow, thats awesome or that beautiful or that inspires.
It honestly looks like a half ass design effort that took 20 minutes to come up with the concept and the guy got his inpiration while he was taking a dump and he looked over and saw that he was out of paper and all that was left was the cardboard tube.
I completely take issue with the idea that a local firm couldn't have come up with a better theme and design.
I don't know how many people after the first time they drive by it or walk over it are going to give it a second thought.
I think that the scary concept for the city council is if the second bridge thats locally designed is a better concept or better looking.
But to me, I don't love it, and for all of the hype it should stir some feeling in my chest or pride, or excitment of wonder, of oh wow thats amazing, but at best its a feeling of meh, at worst its a feeling of, that just looks lazy.
