I guess I don't like the fact that people in a small niche of the city could
force a change, in 2006, in the 1999 comprehensive plan. I mean if a
comprehensive plan can be changed by complaint, it's not too
"comprehensive". And the city's writing another one as we speak. How

Michael Kyte, Director of the National Institute for Advanced Transportation

"Someone please explain to me WHY a pedestrian bridge is being built at<br>
<st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">3rd St.</st1:address></st1:Street>
Please try to convince me that it's not to, once and for <br>
all, prevent an auto bridge from going there. What powerful people in<br>
Moscow DON'T want that?"<br>
<br>
>From what I heard at the Administrative Committee meeting last Monday,<br>
if the placement of a pedestrian bridge is to either the north or the<br>
south, it would not preclude the future addition of a vehicular bridge<br>
in the future (a vehicular bridge is a part of the Comprehensive Plan).<br>
<br>
One must realize there is some pretty vocal opposition to a vehicular<br>
bridge there, which got it put on the back burner about a year and a<br>
half ago. If a person is in favor of a vehicular bridge there (which I<br>
think would work with some traffic mitigation), that person should make<br>
their opinion known to the powers-that-be.<br>
