W/r/t the Koch Bridge, my personal view is that this is a shame. If they wanted to rename a bridge after Koch, they shouldn't've chosen the one (a) about which Simon & Garfunkel wrote a song and (b) that has something of a distinctive, iconic name.I think that if they had renamed the Manhattan or Williamsburg Bridge after Koch, the name might've caught on a bit easier. Queensboro is just so distinctive-sounding, and should've stayed that way. Same thing with the Triboro - perhaps the Mannie B should've gone to Koch, and the Williamsburg to Kennedy. Or perhaps we should've left the bridges alone and named something else after Koch. |
