Please stop the removal of the historic old Waldo Hancock Bridge and allocate the funds for it's destruction toward preserving it for a pedestrian-bicycle route and tourist attraction. Also as a safety precaution should access to the new bridge be restricted.
Why is this important?
This historic award winning structure can be preserved as a pedestrian-bicycle crossing (new bridge doesn't have one and millions of dollars are proposed to add such) Cost to remove it, millions. Logic, history, esthetics and Yankee values argues for it's preservation for future generations and a safety backup for crossing the Penobscot.
