Nice but do you think they can build a level bridge? This is 2019! The Chinese have figured it out.
I don’t understand….Does it say that it’s not level?
No but level pedestrian bridges seem to be a challenge and one only needs to look downtown to see effect.
Yeah, see, when you join two different buildings with different floor heights, you usually have to slope the connection.
Yeah but the Chinese don’t nor do the Europeans only cheap American builders and cities with no aesthetics standards. You can keep the structure level and manipulate the height with a sloping floor inside. I believe they did that on one of the bridges over Maryland near the Marriott.
Does it really matter? I can think of a thousand pet peeves that cause me to stay awake at night, but “unlevel” pedestrian bridges ain’t one of them.
OK you win. Try to get some sleep.
Assuming that it’s true that pedestrian bridges in Europe and Chine are always level, I wonder if the non-level ones in the U.S. are due to ADA regulations. That is, perhaps in other countries, they can merely use steps to get up or down to the bridge, while American developers have to use ramps. Ramps inside a building are a non-revenuie producing use of expensive space inside the building, while there’s little revenue impact when the bridge itself is sloped.
Awww……let’s all stop so poor Brent B can get some sleep. I bet he stays awake worrying and wondering about the Colts though.
