The West End Pedestrian Bridge design "should be bold and visionary, dramatic yet practical, contemporary while respectful of history."

"The Pittsburgh Riverlife Task Force and the Alcoa Foundation will kick off an international design competition today aimed at giving the City of Bridges a signature piece intended to link a burgeoning trail network and provide better waterfront access."

"'The goal here is to make the rivers and the riverfront the center of the community of life and this structure will help us to do that,' said Kathleen W. Buechel, president and treasurer of Alcoa Foundation."
