C'mon man, the Rainbow Bridge needs to be built. Imagine driving from the east side to downtown and you see this huge white bridge getting bigger. I can see myself eating a breakfast burro on a Sunday morning staring at this bridge.
Heck, I can see myself eating a burro during Tucson's summer rustic reddish orange sunset and sunrise on top of a Tower staring at the Saguaro Nat'l Park. In fact, way back, I remember working in one of the buildings by broadway/rosemont after a rainy day, I got a good view of the Catalina mountains with houses below slightly covered with morning mist. Tucson has some nice unique views.
The Rainbow Bridge, Tower and an Air Tram can repay it's debt with fees. They're tourist attractions which translates to $$$ to the local business - somehow the NIMBY's in this town can't seem to connect the dots...either have an empty dusty lot and rundown buildings filled with crime or create $$$ with the Bridge,Tower and Air Tram and beautify the area.
