After making the long trek across the bridge to SunTrust Park, pedestrians were going to be treated to a park-like plaza with manicured landscaping, a fountain of water cascading down steps, benches and an elevator to get back up to the bridge.
All of that is gone now, victim of the political desire to keep the bridges’ cost under $10 million.
A new $9.4 million estimate for the 1,100-foot bridge over Interstate 285 has scrapped the North End Plaza, for a savings of approximately $900,000.
