Until the fiscal hawks start complaining about some of these billion dollar road projects and multi million dollar interchanges I just can't take them seriously.

To me it has nothing to do with Bell, but good for him for continuing to follow the story, obviously he's hit a nerve, and the council instead of trying to defend this have gone into a denial mode. They've done a terrible job of selling this bridge.
And until this city is not a vehicle based city, we're going to have to continue to spend money on road ways and interchanges as the current road designs are based around a city of a half million people, not over a million, so whether you like it or not that is a key infrastructure project that probably has a priority over this bridge.
And I'm reminded of it every time my cars suspension gets ripped out by roads in dire need of repair.
