A Bridge Too Far

Day 037

Just some Photoshop practice and thinking about Dolores Park Currently the footbridge over the J-Church line is in pretty good shape, minor spalling of the concrete and in dire need of a repaint notwithstanding. I heard on more than one occasion at the Dolores Park meeting that the bridge and stairs were considered architecturally significant, although that classification seems less than totally accepted. The stop below the bridge is not used and at the present time the only function of the stairs from down to track level is to attract graffiti and vandalism. Removal of the stairs and reshaping the embankment would require some interruption of the J-Church service but would provide a much cleaner visual look to the crossing from either side of the tracks.
