The Downer bridges are "historic" (which is political speak for "old as hell") so I'm totally in favor of the closure. However, I wish it could start in the summer or just about any time after the class starts.
The good news is that there is free parking in the parking garage at Downer and Stolp. If you're patronizing a business on Downer (that would include us over at Annie's Om Towne Fitness), you can park for free on the parking deck as long as you're there for less than an hour. (And my class is 45 minutes and less than a block away, how convenient is that?!)
As an added bonus, if you sign up for the entire six-week session, you will be guaranteed to see me, at some point, crawling on my belly to get to the building. The only thing scarier than a historic bridge is HALF a historic bridge.
If you want information on the bridge renovation, you can read the official propaganda on the City's Web site.
