The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on. I frequently walk my dogs along this creek and yes, over the bridge sometimes.

@Doohickie hey Doohickie :)
Could you give me a more detailed location of the bridge than Fort Worth?
(I'm an openstreetmap nerd and am REALLY curious if the bridge is on the map and how it is tagged 😄)

@Doohickie just FYI: The bridge is not yet in the OpenStreetMap database but I'll change that. The surrounding area is pretty nicely mapped and soon the bridge will show up :)

@buwel This is cool... someone else is putting the picture into WikiCommons and now this. I'm going to see if I can put a Wiki entry in about it.
