INNOVATION IN THAT AREA.

18
00:02:03.223 --> 00:02:10.697
TALK ABOUT WHAT THAT WILL MEAN.
>> THE BRIDGE IS MUCH MORE THAN
A PHYSICAL STRUCTURE FOR 16
TECH.

19
00:02:10.697 --> 00:02:19.339
IT PROVIDES CONNECTIVITY TO
ANCHOR INSTITUTIONS AND ALSO THE
HISTORIC RIVERSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD,
WHICH IS IN THE NORTH BUT IT

20
00:02:19.339 --> 00:02:26.412
SYMBOLIZES THE CONDUCTIVITY TO
BETWEEN PEOPLE AND IDEAS THAT IS

THOUGHTFULLY NOT JUST ABOUT THE

24
00:02:46.132 --> 00:02:53.406
BRIDGE, BUT OTHER ENTRANCES TO
THE DISTRICT AND THE WAYFINDING.
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO START TO
ESTABLISH THE IDENTITY OF THE

25
00:02:53.406 --> 00:03:00.780
PUBLIC REALM AT 16 TECH AND WE
WANT THE DESIGNERS TO THINK
ABOUT THIS IN A THOUGHTFUL WAY
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE

26
00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:08.621
DISTRICT AND ALSO THE CITY.
WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A SELECTION
COMMITTEE THAT INCLUDES LOCAL

PERSPECTIVE AS WE REVIEW

28
00:03:14.427 --> 00:03:20.700

HUB THE WATER COMPANY BUILDING

BUILDING PROJECT WE HAVE UNDER
CONSTRUCTION AND IT WILL BE
COMPLETE BEFORE THE END OF THE

33
00:03:50.096 --> 00:03:56.302
>> YOU MENTION THE FOOD
MARKETPLACE AND BACK TO THE
TALENT ATTRACTION PIECE THE
OFFERINGS THERE FROM FOOD AND
