This country is full of important people whose responses to issues are as follows:
It`ll cost money
It`s too hard
Somebody will get hurt
Somebody will sue the city
Not my problem
It`s another level of government`s problem
Not my pay grade

Rather than going to the trouble to design an automated gate (or paying people to open and close the bridge multiple times a year on a moments notice, regardless of if its part of their job description or not), I would rather see that money go towards making it usable all year long.
