The selected design for the Bay Bridge has neither the skill nor grace we want and need. It is the result of a singular pursuit - the creation of a obelisk as a monument to the bureaucracy that created it. Yet the selected choice is just plain wrong - it has no real capacity for rail. It's structurally schizoid - half a suspension bridge with miles of onramp. It certainly has no grace.
Time is of the essence.
Not if the criteria remains the same. Actually, there exists such a design. A design that spans the bay with skill and grace. The mayors Brown have asked for him to intercede - to cancel the existing design. Time is very much of the essence.
