HDC accepts as-built Confluence pedestrian bridge, requests developers consult earlier on design changes

The commission reviewed as-built changes to the pedestrian bridge at 185 South 3rd after staff and City Center Group representatives said earlier schematic renderings did not detail the bridge fully. Jane Haft (speaker 15), design director for City Center Group, acknowledged the discrepancy and said trussed steel avoided the need for the tall architectural column shown in schematic renderings. She offered a commitment to improve future communications and suggested working with the artist community on a discreet public-art treatment if warranted.
