Mind the Gap
The rationale for building this bridge no longer exists. Traffic volumes on Genesee Avenue north of Governor Drive are way down - below 29,000 ADT as of November 2009. Compare this with the 1987 volume of 32,500 ADT, and the projections of 42,000 ADT. Bridge proponents have long since realized that there is no valid reason for the bridge based on traffic, so a few years ago they started singing a different tune, emphasizing emergency services. Their fearmongering backfired however when it was pointed out that one could build about six new fire stations for the cost of this bridge. The UC Planning Group and CD 1 Councilmember Lightner understand that the priority projects for the North UC FBA budget should be the Genesee - I5 interchange and additional fire stations. We'll all be lucky if the FBA can see those projects through. The community is already 95% built out and there won't be any money left for the bridge. Good riddance to a bad project.— June 25, 2010 8:40 a.m.
