KVAL--
The local biking community is all excited as ODOT and construction crews are bringing Eugene and Springfield together with a new one-of-a-kind structure that resembles the Golden gate Bridge.
The bridge, rising between Harlow Road and the I5 beltline flyover is part of the $72 million state package.
ODOT Regional spokesman, Joe Harwood, says, "Not only is it going to be a beautiful bridge, but it's going to tie the bike path network of both cities together."
oh, isn't that sweet...
The bridge... is something that will be remembered by people going to Seattle or to San Francisco because it will be a one-of-a-kind bridge which also reinforces the local areas can an event to multi-modal transportation, according to Joe Harwood.
WOW! I wonder if we can get federal funding for... oh I don't know... services that will protect our streets like maybe police...
Oh wait, I almost forgot... they [the police] do get federal funding or grants...
... to make sure that you're wearing your seatbelt.

I see that the State is hiring more than a hundred new troopers. Wonder why the city of Eugene can't come up with a few more officers or maybe a few more jail beds. Oh, wait, I forgot, we have the beds and the room, we just can't afford to use them!

Actually it is Lane County not the city of Eugene. As for the bridge, this should be called the Dwyer/Kelly Bridge. In order for Bill Dwyer and David Kelly to agree to support the interchange as part of the Beltline Decision Team, the bridge had to be built.
Have no fear. I'm sure the money for the bike bridge will come from the registration fees and taxes that bike users pay for the privilege. Oh wait, they don't pay that's right.
