I don't get it, but then again, I'm thick as a brick (Jethro Tull).

Sometimes, all the stars align and you have someone with a vision, someone to listen and support that vision, someone with the financial support who is on board with that vision, designers that go the extra mile to transform that vision into reality, and talented construction folks who can take those plans and build something special. I'm not putting this path up there with the Golden Gate Bridge, but it is nice to see that a plain intersection crossing wasn't decided on. Cheers to the melding of art, design, and functionality.

Is that cool or what, I would love to see suspended roadways for bikes at major thoroughfares in the city.
