Yes, it is a rehash of all we know about the PAST. This is not the 1930's or even the 1960's. I hardly think there is anything historic that would be destroyed and one can not possibly see anything that would damage the environment as we are talking a handful of pilings in ground that has long ago covered up whatever is buried there. I would not suggest another disaster like the Causeway as it has badly damaged the Bay. It was an interesting and informative article but I did see it as the usual scare tactic used by many who would not want a bridge but need to come up with an excuse to justify their opposition. Let the opponents have to deal with the terrible traffic jams that are taking place almost every day now and they would change their tune. Build the Bridge...Build it Now.
