More On Chesapeake’s Dominion Blvd. Steel Bridge

Last weekend’s Virginian-Pilot ran another article about Chesapeake’s Dominion Bl. Steel Bridge, highlighting the complexity of the issue and the clash of competing attitudes. (Attitudes indeed!) Now it seems the truth is being kicked to the gutter, along with the most vulnerable road users — pedestrians — as city officials exaggerate the cost of the bike/ped portion of the project.
