桥的“开创性”
没有铁锹就不是真正的动工，所以公共工程部的Cecelia Gilbert带来了五把常用的，尽管是仪式用的铁锹，参加了5月27日星期四庆祝霍尔顿有袋动物桥开工的活动。殷勤的政要们察觉到这是拍照的机会，便抓起铁锹，假装把铁锹挖进霍尔顿高架桥下面的沥青路面。市长汤姆·巴雷特(Tom Barrett)在参加女儿的钢琴独奏会之前也出席了仪式。其他客人包括阿尔德。迈克尔·s·达马托，阿尔德。小迈克尔·i·麦基，主管格里·布罗德里克和詹姆斯·怀特，以及前州参议员布莱恩·伯克。朱莉·科勒(Julilly Kohler)是这次活动的司仪，她的发言很低调，但她成功地说出了所有帮助她实现梦想的人的名字。这其中包括“来自第五选区的前国会议员”，布莱恩·伯克这样称呼他的小学老朋友汤姆·巴雷特，他在担任市长期间第一次为一个公共工程项目提供了仪式用的铁铲。建筑师James Dallman和他的妻子Grace La也在现场，还有Mathew P. Tharaniyil, P.E.和Yakov N. Nenaydykh，另一位P.E.。他们分别是总统和Bloom咨询公司的副总裁，他们是横跨霍尔顿高架桥项目的工程师，这个悬空的“有袋动物”桥是一条自行车和行人通道，将提供布雷迪街社区和湖畔啤酒厂及其周围的啤酒线“B”社区之间的等级通道。威斯康辛州交通部长弗兰克·布萨拉奇(Frank Busalacchi)和隆达建筑公司(Lunda Construction)的任何代表都没有参加这次活动。 Lunda appears to be a publicity-averse organization. The firm has expressed a reservation about having webcams at the construction site, saying they might reveal some “trade secrets” of the mysterious, arcane art of bridge building. Good heavens! It’s a bridge, not a plutonium refinery. Also missing from the event was Whitney Gould, although you wouldn’t have known it from the article she managed to write about it for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the next morning. She reported, correctly, that the Mayor was there, in an otherwise generic story composed of previously reported items. Sonya Jongsma-Knauss and Vince Bushell of the Riverwest Currents were there. The sole representative of the electronic media was Channel 58. Afterwards, the crowd of 100 or so headed up to the Lakefront Brewery Palm Garden where owner Russ Klisch turned on the taps. Earlier that day, a stressed Russ was trying to get his new bottling machine to behave. Even so, it still chewed up a few bottles as it went through its shakedown cruise. Sales manager Paul Moebius said things are going well at the brewery – maybe too well. “We’re running out of beer!” he said. Last year’s sales were 5,000 barrels, and this year the brewery could hit 7,000 barrels. This is better than 2 […]
