Save the Murray Morgan Bridge?

The TNT puts up a blog post about the Murray Morgan Bridge and my inbox lights up … 

The recent bridge tragedy in Minnesota is causing municipalities around the country to take a look at their bridge infrastructure.  In Tacoma, a city with a particular sensitivity toward stories of falling bridges, this brings back the Murray Morgan Bridge debate.

Should the city take over ownership of the bridge from the state? Who should pay for its upkeep? Should it come down? No option is inexpensive. The bridge is an icon of downtown, but what’s that worth?  To us, a lot… but we’re not everybody.
