I keep trying to tell you people: This is what THE BRIDGE is about: CHINA.

The United States is partnered with CHINA to change all our infrastructure to get rid of cars and replace them with electric bikes and self driving electric share cars.

Electric bikes are killing machines. They do all of this in the name of encouraging WALKING and protecting PEDESTRIANS. It is a LIE.

The PEDESTRIAN bridge in Florida was strictly for cyclists. This is happening at record pace in the San Francisco Bay Area. Jerry Brown is nothing but an oversized juvenile delinquent who has spent his entire life rebelling against his daddy, who was the DA of San Francisco when it was the Paris of the West. It was elegant and cosmopolitan. People had impeccable manners and a strict dress code.

Now it does look like mad max and they are fast tracking turning it into a third world city in communist China. The people here have no vote. The Chief of the Fire Department has protested the new bike lanes on Market Street. They prevent the ladders on the fire trucks from reaching a burning building and risk the lives of the fire fighters. The City of San Francisco told the Fire dept. to go screw themselves and built them anyway.

Now they are putting in shared electric bikes just as even Bloomberg has banned them in NYC because they are so dangerous. They have also been banned in Chinese cities as they cause an astronomical number of deaths.

There is no free speech here. Pedestrians will be threated with death, no exaggeration , if they speak up.

It is much bigger than that. It is an ideology.

"Private sector participation is an integral part of the U.S. China cooperation through the Transportation Forum. Engaging industry and academia, enables the Forum to leverage their achievements in technology and innovation in transportation. To further encourage and expand private sector participation in U.S. China bilateral cooperation, a major focus of this yearโ€™s Forum was on Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) and their role in delivering infrastructure development projects and other components of transportation systems. A dedicated session on PPPs was held bringing together U.S. and Chinese policymakers, project developers, and industry experts, to share effective practices in this area. Topics of discussion included efforts by the U.S. and China to facilitate PPPs in the transportation sector in their domestic markets and their strategy and plans for the future development of PPPs as an integral funding solution for development of the transportation sector."

And they are worried that Trump will defund it all, so they are building furiously, using up the TIGER grants as fast as possible.

There is one thing that makes it different here. Streetcars. Not Cable Cars, streetcars. They have overhead wires. The fire trucks can't get the ladders under the wires above and up to the windows of the building at the same time. So their ladders would effectively be horizontal trying to put out a fire, endangering the fire fighters.

What do the cyclists want to do? Why, remove street cars, of course. The original electric mass transit vehicles here, that are part of what makes San Francisco San Francisco.

I think you would have to find out who the subcontractors and suppliers are. It would take some digging. A contractors daily newspaper might have the specs. And the results of the bidding. A contractor with a subscription to a "put out the bid" news service might have access to that.

It is a government project. Normally, the process is that the government puts out public bids for each stage of the project. Asks for bids from architects for the plans. Selects an architect from the bidders. Architects and contractors subscribe to things like McGraw Hills "Daily Pacific Builder." When the plans are done, they put out a call for bids for a general contractor. The general contractor bases his bids on the specs and plans provided by the news service. They base the price on what the subcontractors and material suppliers tell them it will cost.

So all of that is decided before they make the bid. Lowest bidder is supposed to get the contract, but not until the government goes over all their details to make sure it will work. in practice, it is theatre. They always select their favorite contractor.
