It looks very nice, and seems like that it would fit in with clevelands design history. It is a modernized version, however as well has the features of cleveland's past bridges. It is sort of like the 2010 chevy camaro. It has similar features to the 1969 Camaro, however it is very modern and fits this period in time very well.

B. The new bridge should reflect consistent design themes of existing bridges in the valley, and should strive for similar attention to form and detail, while not being imitative.

One of the main reasons that I like bridge A's design is because of it's symmetrical scaling.

I think bridge A does have some nice lighting, however I think that it would not hurt to add just a little bit more lighting to the underside, however it is hard to tell how much there actually is in an animated PDF drawing.
