Glad to see others recognize the absurdity. Sky bridges are expensive- except when it's other people's money buying them.

Sure wish these folks were in touch with how difficult times are for small businesspeople trying to survive. We need some cost cutting and real tax relief!

How much are crosswalks going for these days? A blinking light and some striped paint? It was good enough for the Beatles!

I am not defending it but it may allow for one set of secure entrances. There is a break even in that case due to staffing costs. It may be 30 years down the road, but throwing it out there.

Design it so that you can sell advertising on the sides a la a billboard.

A skywalk is gonna be a lot cheaper than an underground walkway.

$983 a square foot! That's 50% more than a hospital would cost!

Likely to be Madison Construction, as they did the courthouse reno that lasted forever due to mold and other remediations and complications.

At least the bridge goes to somewhere. Some bureaucrats have built a bridge to nowhere.

My bet is they delete the bridge saving 6 million and call it a "cost savings " when they knew it would never survive to the end.

Madison Construction has closed their doors. One thing for certain, it won't be them performing this proposed project.
And your analysis of why the renovation "lasted forever" is not accurate. The courthouse construction consisted of multiple phases that, overall, lasted for many years, each phase was a completely different scope of work from the last.
