Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
What? Lights on a bridge? What a concept.

Bad Ass - I would say this boosts the impetus to get things rolling with the riverfront.

Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
Very nice design! Once connectivity is established for the bike lane, I wonder, when that is planning to happen and what bike path will lead up to the bridge?

Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
What they mean by establishing connectivity is that MoDOT won't add the bike/pedway until the levee trail is build on the north bank. Just this month the City Council passed a resolution calling for a plan to open city-owned levees for trail use.
The choice of a cable-stayed bridge means that the bike path will be built from the beginning. In the future they will just put a barrier and fence on the southbound shoulder. Once the levee trail is open the city will have to find local money to build the ramps up to the bridge.

Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
My only complaint: they could of got rid of the left exit/onramp to the Paseo and made it exit/enter from the right lanes. There will still be a traffic mess for those on the Paseo wanting to exit onto Front Street.

Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
from the article:
riiiiiiight......As much as the Golden Gate Bridge sets San Francisco apart or New York is linked with the Brooklyn Bridge, there is hope that a new Paseo Bridge will do the same for Kansas City.

Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
There is nothing distinctive or ground-breaking about the design of this bridge. It is essentially a copy of the Cooper River bridge in Charleston, minus the second tower. Our "signature" bridge is not unique to KC.

Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
It is one cool bridge. They could make it more distinctive with unique lighting highlighting the lines (cables) of the bridge at night. Instead of backlighting the cables, why not have lights on the cables themselves. A neon-like effect. I'm not advocating running neon tubes along the cables, but some type of cable lights like the ones you can buy as strings, but customized for this type of project.
There is no fifth destination.

LED it, like the Marriott downtown. Then we'll all sit at the riverfront with our bottles of absinthe watching the changing colors.

Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
Exactly what are they doing to the north loop? Something about adding a lane at Oak. How tall will the tower on the bridge be?

Re: Bond Bridge (formerly Paseo)
how many "unique" bridge designs can their be?
I like it but I immediately thought of the new Boston bridge.
