Re: Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge (Part Two)

It's just a rendering .. I think positive that it won't be what we see. There is no need to have a huge stage with the park across the river. A small stage would suffice as its not an actual entertainment district nor is there room for any type of large stage.
