I agree with you Andrea but unfortunately I believe this is the argument that will be raised until we have a solid, sustainable source of transportation funding in place. I would love to see more context-sensitive bridges such as 5th Street but I have yet to talk to any GDOT official that is actually happy and excited about this kind've design.
