And if it does only cost 9.8, I think I'd be scared to use it. Makes you wonder what important corners they're cutting.

For example, the Buckhead Station Pedestrian Bridge cost $30M. That did include fare gates and BreezeCard machines, but the bridge was also much shorter, did not cross a major interchange, and did not have to support the weight of buses.

Plaza for Braves bridge removed to save money | www.myajc.com
They are going to keep cutting back, until the bus bridge is gone and it's just a wooden, swing-bridge.

It would be sort of entertaining to see all the drunk departing fans navigate a swing bridge! Probably more entertaining than the game itself...

Just seems like the Braves could pitch in (not intended) a little more considering how much they are getting out of this.

Why should they when they have Tim Lee and Cobb County's government willing to bend over the edge of the bed for them?
