No Golden Gate, Tower Bridge in Sacramento Still Wants to Shine
In an unusual exercise in direct democracy, California’s typically stodgy transportation agency has asked residents to decide what color to paint one of the capital’s most visible public works--the sprawling Tower Bridge spanning the Sacramento River.
Caltrans is holding an election to let residents within a 35-mile radius select from among three paint schemes to replace the faded ochre hue that has adorned the 737-foot-long structure for a quarter of a century.
