[PRCo] Re: Cleveland Sidaway bridge

[Herb Brannon]

Back when I was just visiting Cleveland and riding the PCCs on the Shaker Rapid I would always see the bridge and wonder about it. When I began working at RTA Harvard Station and was taught the 14-Kinsman bus line I saw the bridge and thought, "That's were that bridge starts !!" There was about a thirty year period between first seeing the bridge and then realizing how it actually fit into the city.

I am familiar with the SHRT, but I don't think that the structure was ever 
perceived as a "bridge."
Also see the following message from railfan friend Dick Bloss who has lived 
in Cleveland Hts.since 1963:

I have never heard of this bridge. Not in 44 years here.
