Missoula Bridges, Man

by William Skink

Last month I wrote about a bridge to no where in Missoula. There has been no media about this $500,000 Missoula Redevelopment Agency investment since February, when work stopped because of “increment weather”.

Since last month’s blog post, the chainlink barring the public from enjoying their new bridge has come down and people are beginning to use it.

I assume there will be media attention at some point because bridges are a pretty big deal in Missoula. The shilling by County Commissioner Dave Strohmeier for anti-bridge property owners on South St. comes to mind, as does the big pedestrian bridge that conveniently extends the life of the URD to keep the cash flow to MRA going.

Missoula bridges, man. Scandalous!
