This one has been annoying the locals.
I find this line interesting:
“As part of the design process, the District did extensive studies on the impacts of the project, including wind tunnel testing of a scale model of the Golden Gate Bridge under high winds ... The new musical tones coming from the bridge are a known and inevitable phenomenon." Cosulich-Schwartz said.
So they knew this was going to happen and went ahead and did it anyways?
Also, why make a such a change to reduce wind loading when the bridge has had nearly a century to prove its design to be sufficient?
