Local designer have say over every basically other project in this city, institutional or private. it's not like they are shut out for everything....just look at all the terrible Gibbs Gage work around downtown. I'm glad they single-sourced this to a firm who was pretty much guaranteed to design something this city has never seen. There is real talent in this city, but let's be honest, there's nobody out there that could've matched Calatrava's level. The bridge is a marvel considering the constraints placed on it.
