The CRC, if built, will be an architecturally bunk bridge. It will be functional and that is it.
A stunning bridge next to the Marquam (and let's all admit it is here to stay for MANY years) is needed in DT Portland. I have yet to see that the cost of a suspension bridge is actually that much more expensive than a box girder bridge. And if it is, I think a discussion at the point is necessary.
