When I travel, what catches my eye, is the landmark in that particular city. Cleveland is rich with history, but we are starting over. The newer contemporary bridge would stand out for miles.

Hard to tell

I like the under design look of bridges A & B. Activity is constant
under the bridges so having a design that would stand out is important.
|
