Once we are able to work <br /> through that,we will start construction. Commissioner Levin asked if it is prefabricated,and <br /> Elka said the bridge is and we are still working out a few issues on the actual tower that have <br /> come to light but the actual bridge will be prefabricated. Commissioner Aelion said it was <br /> an issue because that was the Netanya One building, it has the big Mt. Sinai logo on top that <br /> would be blinded by this bridge, and so it is something that the City Manager should <br /> approach. City Manager Russo said we will double check that because we know the Height <br /> of the bridge and where it is going. <br /> Commissioner Aelion moved and Commissioner Levin seconded a motion to approve the <br /> resolution. Resolution No. 2015-2472 was adopted by a voice vote of 5-0 in favor. <br /> 18 <br />
