I think some sort of cool LED lighting would be nice, that change color. I'm not sure what kind of aesthetic enhancements could be made that would be given any sort of funding over all the other issues we're dealing with here, for example, transportation, convention center expansion, homelessness. But if any money could be allocated to improve any of the bridges crossing the river, I'd say throw it at the train bridge. I know a lot of people think its an iconic pallet for graffiti, but its an eyesore imo. At least replace the solid rusty metal walls with a railing with aluminum vertical bars or even the fencing material used on the Independent. As far as all the other bridges go, they are less intrusive visually the way they are, and don't interfere with the natural surroundings, so the focus remains on the river and the trees. In this case, perhaps less is more.
