Famous Los Angeles bridge to be replaced

[9i OTD]

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can see why there's no river at all in the concept image, as the way things are going in California right now there won't be any rivers in a few years.

 

That does not look like a river, that looks like a stormwater channel, aka sewage, I assume they'll just put it underground.

That sounds like a great way to do things. Very definitely not the way they do things over here... I would be willing to bet that if this bridge re-design goes through and people are re-located, it;l be in a much less socially-conscious fashion.

 

Gentrification? It's a f*cking bridge, 3 hobos and some pigeons will have to move, woopdeedoo.

This New bridge design is pretty stupid though, looks entirely ridiculous. Honestly I love the gritty look in many areas, this bridge reminds me of San Andreas a lot, and I am very fond of that, but at the same time, a bit of a neater, smarter design should take its place, it's not as safe as it could be and eventually the area will modernise a little more, so this bridge being a pretty permanent structure should lead the way in a way so it can fit in now, and in the future.

I'm very against preserving sh*tty old stuff right now because in Newcastle Australia, there's an Old train station running right into the city which they've just closed down because the extra 1km of railway is unnecessary because free buses traverse the area, and it takes an enormous amount of space in the city centre, but people are lobbying saying it shouldn't be destroyed because it's a landmark yada yada and it's dumb because there isn't much space because the city is on a point right by the ocean and is divided by this railway.

Hunter street is the main street here, and the railway runs alongside it as you can see by the blue icons.

 

 

 

Are you a Novocastrian, Finn?

 

Perhaps, why?

 

It's just a hunch. Furthermore, outside of Newcastle, and NSW to a lesser regard, probably not many people would know that it is happening. Yeah, I haven't heard about it where I currently live

You're right, they don't, I take it you're a nova?

Nope. I'm a Sydneysider.

It's just a bridge. They deteriorate over time. Then they either get fixed or replaced with something that will last longer. Get over it.

The Statue of Liberty comparison is idiotic, if you want to compare it to a landmark then go with the Brooklyn Bridge or something else.

[K20]

sometimes you need redevelopment of a major land mark in order to kick start regeneration of an entire area.

Not only idiotic, but completely irrelevant.

Not only idiotic, but completely irrelevant.

Especially for the reasons I pointed out on the first page, that these national monuments are routinely entirely renovated.. The Washington Monument down here was covered in scaffolding for almost two years

Most of all, the bridge is dangerous. You can't keep an archaic structure because of aesthetics like some church idiot.

[--Vega--]

New bridge looks nice, if not a tad bit out of place compared to its surroundings. Excited to see how this comes along.
