Preserving the Colorado St. Bridge

Re Colorado Street Bridge

How annoying to read that $27.4 million is being spent to preserve a bridge that no longer serves any transportation purpose (Times, June 14.)

Is it any wonder the city of Pasadena can’t balance its budget?

Editor’s Note: Most of the money to repair the bridge--$20 million--is from the Federal Highway Administration, with the rest paid by the city and county.
