adrea - is this your acquiescence on the existence of the connector?
stone bridges across the downtown connector bridges would be a nice diffrentiator - if they would invest in a design that was substantial and unique. although, in atlanta, it would be too easy to make a cheap replication of stone craftsmanship (like the nightmare on peachtree that took the place of planet hollywood).
i like your idea of recalling the past railroad history of atlanta. i think that would be really nice.
