Sigh. A shame.

Maybe removal of gas lines and installation of new? the lines are 40 years old. and completely rebuilding the bridge would have to remove the current piping in / under the current bridge.

The sheets of plans I have only mention the demolition of the gas lines and makes no mention of the installation of new ones. Now, these plans are dated for August, so perhaps there may have been changes. But there is no mention of removing and replacing the gas lines, just the removal completely.

It's probably an Al Gore thing to prevent global warming.

Also, birdies have been ripped out of the preshow.

Either it is for the refurbishment of the birdies... or... something new?

for what it's worth, I know of proposals to return the tiki torches that seem to be gaining some traction, but probably not to the bridge...probably back at the Sunshine Tree Pavilion I'd imagine.

Would you believe they got caught with burnt feathers?
