2. Why are there no signs on SR 50 or SR 235 pointing to this historic landmark?

The most frequent comments refer to the length and design of the bridge and how awesome it is.
The comments about restoration have been positive.
When people enter the bridge the statments most often heard have to do with the graffiti, vandalism and lack of respect for the bridge.
There have been many questions and suggestions about security after the restoration is complete. The most common suggestion has been cameras on each end of the bridge that could be monitered.
