“It helps connect our historic district to our downtown district and I think that’s important,” says Lex Kirkland, assistant city manager. “The bridge has been closed for some time. To some, it’s an eyesore and I tend to agree with them, so we would love to beautify that area to have a nice bridge that serves our citizens well.”
Kirkland says they will be reviewing from people over the next few days.
