report about the color of the bridge. And I know
green seems to be your favorite color at the highway
department but the report mentioned three or four
public agencies that would get a vote on the color.
And I was wondering if you're going to consider corten
steel as an option both for color and for maintenance.
MR. BERTOULIS: Right now we're working on some
of the final details. In terms of some of the
process, there's been a desire to have a look and feel
of the old bridge. And, you know, the look and feel
of that circa 1950s bridge is that DOT green. And the
concept right now is we're looking at basically making
it that color. The corten steel has other issues
associated with it. It has staining issues. It's not
reflective of the era of what the desire was for the
look and feel aspects of the bridge, so I think right
now we're looking towards a painting system of, you
know, a high-performance paint which can basically
last 20, 25 years before it requires a touch-up and
repainting. That's the current trend, although we
haven't completed the design yet and if you have some
comments, Mr. Harris, we'll take them and respond
accordingly.
MR. HARRIS: Is that just the highway department
