One of the neighbors directly affected by the planned closure of the walk bridge got out his posthole digger and went to work. He installed a protest sign to voice his displeasure with the very idea of destroying and removing the walk bridge.
He finds himself at a point where he’s wondering what to do with the farm. The previous owner grew garlic on the flat area of the farm but had cows on the 1/3 of the farm on the other side of Chorro Creek.
Before he passed away, the former owner indicated that when a storm came through the valley and the vehicular bridge became predictably submerged underwater, the walk bridge was a lifeline for him to check on his cows to make sure they were surviving the storm okay.
Removing the walk bridge affects people that use and rely on the bridge. It also affects the general public who also enjoyed the bridge, frequently taking pictures with Hollister mountain in the background. Everyone from Cal Poly graduates to newly married couples came to the walk bridge to get their pictures taken.
To destroy and remove this once beautiful walk bridge would be an absolute abomination.
