Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has voiced strong opposition to the construction of a pedestrian bridge over Lincoln Street, threatening to chain himself to the Capitol Plaza to prevent it from being built even though he originally proposed the plan.
Last year, Polis shared his idea for the bridge's construction, stating his belief that it would help strengthen pedestrian safety and could be constructed to celebrate Colorado's 150th birthday, that coincides with America's 250th birthday, in 2026.
