I just voted. I voted for Green Canopy for the 10th Street bridge and voted for Organic Canopy for Cortland Street Bridge. I really hope these two options are selected. I think they are the most creative. The only one I don't like is Skyscape.

I liked Skyscape because it pulled off the cloud aesthetic really well especially the lights beneath the bridge that make it look like is filtering through the "cloud" bridge.

I did C and E because they're the least weird looking of the bunch.

I voted A and A, and told them that C looked bleak. Sorry.

Voted for "Green City Spectator" and "Organic Canopy" because.... I mean, c'mon!

Let's be on the bleeding edge for once and do something truly daring. This city's too comfortable following trends instead of setting them (celebrity chef burger joints anyone?)

"Green City Spectator" is pretty impressive. But it has got to be an order of magnitude more expensive than the other 10th st choices, right? I mean the others are just basically adding some poles with lights and bushes while it is a whole second level platform "capping" the bridge.

Supposedly the rules were that the bridges should be designed with the $3 Million Budget per bridge in mind. So I hope it is within the budget because it could become the catalyst toward pursuing cap the connector projects.
