Because the grand bridge design might be a problem for minnows and the common tern.

not only does that bridge look sweet, but watching birds decapitate themselves on the cables is a fucking bonus. How are they not building this now? ---

“Your decision to block the Menn design on the basis of some totally unproven notion that ducks and hawks and falcons will smash into the wires and come crashing down to the roadway in some significant numbers would be laughable were its consequences not so potentially dire,” Higgins had written to them Feb. 25.

I also find it interesting that the Toledo bridge was built, even though 5 workers were killed in the process and now ice is building up on the tower and falling and hitting/serverly damaging cars in the process.

Good.
