I guess I would leave those details to the engineers and the
site procurement people. The key idea here is the curved
approach that reaches grade level in an east-west direction on
Second Street and/or Riverview. It's that approach idea that
makes it feasible to consider a wide range of alternatives for
routing traffic through the community.
And who knows what MNDOT can do with $200 million? If they don't
have to buy and dismantle a neighborhood, perhaps they can spend
more on the bridge itself.
