They never would due to cost, but it would be funny if they just went whole hog and built a giant, graceful suspension bridge over the flood channel like it was a massive river.

I'm guessing you're just joking, but they are building a suspension bridge over the flood plain right now that will be completed this year, and will be building another after it.
There is/was a river there. It flooded downtown and surrounding areas so a flood plain and levees were built in the 1930s.
