A cafe under a pedestrian bridge? Such a business would probably only exist if it were city-run or the rent was free. #10 is very outlandish and seems expensive. Trees on bridges doesn’t mesh with Providence Parks Department shoddy record of maintenance. #7 Plain, and the trees on the pier abutments look more like weeds. Why dedicate so much space to be used only during “special events” a few times a year? Plus it will be a vagrant/teen/graffiti artist hangout most of the time. #5 Is more like a seating area than a pedestrian/bike bridge. #3 The roofs are not necessary and would add to the cost. Plus the “Creative Capital” wall or whatever they put there would become a graffiti magnet within 5 minutes after dusk the date of the dedication. #2 Looks like a lot of wasted space and seems unnecessarily convoluted. The others are way too expensive or unrealistic due to upkeep costs. I personally like #6 a lot, because of the approaching park space and wide paths. #9 has a similar theme, but not as extravagant, so it may be cheaper. My bet is on #8, which fits RI’s ocean theme. Only #1, #6, #11, #8, #9 have any shot of being approved.
